Agents, friends, fellow Explorers:

Important RPEs (Remote Participation Experiments -- also known as a Role Playing Games or RPGs) will take place at Camp Navarro and Schloss Kaltenberg during the MAGNUS event codenamed 'Epiphany Night.'

Our RPE missions will take us to the past, to the future, and to another present. We will attempt to uncover unsolved mysteries about Epiphany Night -- the dramatic event that begun our XM journey many years ago... and we will explore the strange theory surrounding a new universe, codenamed 'OSIRIS,' that some believe is similar to ours in many ways.

For those who have taken part in an NIA RPE before, you know the drill. For others, know that all that is required of you is a collaborative spirit, a creative mind and a desire to adventure. No prior RPG experience needed.

Please note that this RPE will require your presence in person at Camp Navarro or Schloss Kaltenberg during the Epiphany Night event.

Sign up links are here:

Camp Navarro: https://goo.gl/forms/wFK4t5OruuBgzQEr2
Schloss Kaltenberg: https://goo.gl/forms/ig72zKoCFxmrCE1i2

Every effort will be made to accommodate all those who express interest at the session time that they request, but spaces are limited, so please keep an open mind.

Please be aware that RPEs remain a subject of active scientific investigation. They have unknown effects in both this and other dimensions. Agents engage in RPEs at their own risk, and the NIA is not responsible for any psychological, physiological or extra-dimensional repercussions.

See you soon, Agents.

A challenge for Agents around the world, and a reward from the NIA's predictive intelligence unit...

NIA Analysts are working to uncover intel related to the upcoming #EXO5 Anomalies, including the locations of Volatile Portals and Research Nodes.

I will have access to 10 packets of Intel, and here is how you can earn them:

On Friday, Dec 1, create Fields (in the specific regions below, as well as Globally). The Faction with the greatest increase in MU over the 5 hour checkpoint I specify will gain access to the intel.

We'll be measuring total MU once at the beginning at the specific window, and once at the end. The Faction with the greater increase wins.

GLOBAL MU
Reward: 1 Intel packet.
UTC Offset: 0
Septicycle: 2017.46
Window being Measured: 16:00 (first Measurement) to 21:00 (last Measurement). Times in UTC.

AS09-KILO-08 (around Medan, Indonesia)
Reward: 1 Intel packet.
UTC Offset: +7
Septicycle: 2017.46
Window being Measured: 18:00 (first Measurement) to 23:00 (last Measurement). Times are local for this Cell.

PA01-SIERRA-08 (around Adelaide, Australia)
Reward: 1 Intel packet.
UTC Offset: +10.5
Septicycle: 2017.46
Window being Measured: 16:30 (first Measurement) to 21:30 (last Measurement). Times are local for this Cell.

PA08-ROMEO-06 (around Hamilton, New Zealand)
Reward: 1 Intel packet.
UTC Offset: +13
Septicycle: 2017.46
Window being Measured: 19:00 (first Measurement) to 24:00 (last Measurement). Times are local for this Cell.

NR02-DELTA-10 (around Kiev, Ukraine)
Reward: 1 Intel packet.
UTC Offset: +2
Septicycle: 2017.46
Window being Measured: 18:00 (first Measurement) to 23:00 (last Measurement). Times are local for this Cell.

NR02-FOXTROT-05 (around Prague, Czech Republic)
Reward: 1 Intel packet.
UTC Offset: +1
Septicycle: 2017.46
Window being Measured: 17:00 (first Measurement) to 22:00 (last Measurement). Times are local for this Cell.

AF11-SIERRA-13 (around Naples, Italy)
Reward: 1 Intel packet.
UTC Offset: +1
Septicycle: 2017.46
Window being Measured: 17:00 (first Measurement) to 22:00 (last Measurement). Times are local for this Cell.

AM01-HOTEL-07 (around Des Moines, IA, USA)
Reward: 1 Intel packet.
UTC Offset: - 6
Septicycle: 2017.46
Window being Measured: 15:00 (first Measurement) to 20:00 (last Measurement). Times are local for this Cell.

AM14-PAPA-14 (around Asuncion, Paraguay)
Reward: 1 Intel packet.
UTC Offset: - 3
Septicycle: 2017.46
Window being Measured: 18:00 (first Measurement) to 23:00 (last Measurement). Times are local for this Cell.

AM16-PAPA-15 (around Montevideo, Uruguay)
Reward: 1 Intel packet.
UTC Offset: - 3
Septicycle: 2017.46
Window being Measured: 18:00 (first Measurement) to 23:00 (last Measurement). Times are local for this Cell.

That's 10 packets of Intel, all told -- 1 for each Region identified and one for Global MU. Good luck, Agents.

    we won kc anomaly without that corrupt organization meddling since they wrote us off as a smurf win, i am surely not jumping through hoops for them.

Agents.

Reading your responses to my previous post was an emotional experience.

I asked for advice, but what I got was something much more: I got a reminder of the trust and faith many have placed in me, of the care and concern that many folks have for me, and of the powerful relationship we have with the mysteries of XM.

It made the call easy.

I know there's risk. And I know there's the possibility that my wings could get clipped. But it would be a travesty for me to walk away from an opportunity where I can protect and develop every Agent's true potential.

I have chosen to accept the offer: I will be taking over as acting chief of the NIA.

I hope I don't let you or myself down.

    I do not like the idea of you taking up the offer, +Hank Johnson​, due to the risks. Whoever is carrying out these murders, is going after NIA operatives. And mainly higher ups. I think you've made a good choice though.
    You'll make a great director. Please lead them in a better direction then they are in now.

    Though remember, power can change someone.

    This greatly concerns me. As a representative of the true resistance movement against control and tyranny, of freeing one's mind and soul to experience unbounded creativity, the NIA represents the very 'man' that should be resisted.. and we Enlightened have performed admirably in that respect so far. Taking the reins of the epitome of shadowy goings on and mysterious disappearances, even murders, is not what I expected. Perhaps you are the force for change and openness they so very much need.

    Lean on those you know and respect for they will help to support and hold you up when you feel beat down or out of energy.

    As you know many care and respect you because you are true to yourself. Some will harass you if you don't follow strictly what is viewed as "the enlightened path", but you do what you feel is best for humanity.

I was surprised by how many of the Niantic Project members I saw at Calvin's memorial.

I had suspected most would never forgive him for what we learned during Abaddon. But I guess the flipside was that he was the one who brought us together. Made us special. Helped us discover our roles, our Archetypes and so much more.

Many of them had interesting things to say about Calvin -- and I'll cover those another time -- today I have something more important to share.

Met Devra there. It turns out one of the reasons she has been planning to go to Berlin is that she's presenting some new research at a conference there.

She began to notice some strange going-ons in her old Niantic era scanner -- one of Lynton-Wolfe's originals.

She started doing some digging and has a pretty compelling theory about how a number of things tie together: November Lima, the Scanner, the Niantic Facility, the Exogenous... all of it.

She's even convinced that the Operation: Essex hosted RPE in Boulder tomorrow night is involved somehow... (I am a bit concerned about this -- last I heard they were probing concepts like Exogenous Forces and Anti-Archetypes... things I personally have found too dangerous to explore.)

Calvin's death has Devra spooked, though. She's placed her research in trust... it is to be given to the winner of the Anomalies worldwide on Saturday as a backup -- just in case something happens to her. I suspect Farlowe will be watching over her though -- so hopefully she stays safe.

As for me, got an interesting call... I might be swinging by an old NIA facility in Houston while I'm down there for the Anomaly. Was invited to a very unusual sounding meeting. More when I see you all in Houston.

I did spot PAC at the funeral. He was keeping his distance, but I told him not to bother. It wasn't a large crowd, and no-one there bears him any particular ill will. He's pretty convinced a lot of the war in Washington traces back to Akira... I'm not so sure myself, but he said he would do some digging while he's in Japan.

Let's see what he turns up.

    Calvin was a person with many sides, and I think you’ve seen almost all of them.
    Devra, she tends to notice the smallest difference. Which is good. But a one of Lynton-Wolfe’s originals? We knew they weren’t the most stable to begin with. It may just be... normal.
    It would make sense if it all tied together. Though it would make trying to do much of anything about it more dangerous and difficult.
    Well, there’s always the possibility something will happen. And with an RPE, one wrong thing, it’s over. And there are ways it could be tied to everything else.

    I hope that’s a good choice, doing a release like that. What if the wrong person gets ahold of it...? Farlowe is always in a way watching her. That was proven during your meeting with her back in August 2016...

    You should not go to that meeting, Hank. It sounds like a trap. How can you be sure it was the NIA that called you? And not someone else? It may be a setup. Please, be careful...

    PAC is one to keep a distance. He’s not a very upfront person. The possibility of it leading back to Akira is high...

I'm sitting awake, watching the final #13MAGNUSREAWAKENS Anomalies kick off -- manically refreshing PAC's scoreboard at http://bit.ly/13mrscore -- but can't get this mystery out of my mind:

Here in Washington, where laws are made to protect yet no one is safe, a man was found dead. In the early morning of September 9th, Ken Owen’s body was found by a passerby by a sculpture at the Kennedy Center, almost exactly where Roland Jarvis and Oliver Lynton-Wolfe had their fateful Cassandra showdown just a few years ago.

It is easy to conclude that whoever killed him was sending a message. But what did they want to say? And to whom? Ken Owens, known as the foremost master of PR spin, was hired by various agencies, companies, and universities, but most notably for none other than the NIA. The body is said to have 5 bullet holes, official documentation from the coroner has not been forthcoming.

Agents, I need your help. If you have any insight into who pulled the trigger on Ken Owen, find me in Washington D.C. and share it in person. Right now, I am only looking for the triggerman (or woman). That will lead us to the actual killer.

Here’s some of what I know:

THE VICTIM:

Ken Owen: Beltway P.R. Flack. Owen was a ‘spinmaster’ extraordinaire. If a corporation, person, nation or government agency had a sudden P.R. problem, they hired Ken Owen. His specialty was to fog the issue, get out the facts if they were good for the client, hide the facts if they were bad for the client, attack the credibility of his opponents. Ken Owen was a library of dirty information which he would use strategically to control news cycles. If he wanted to get his client out of the spin cycle, he’d drop some dirt on somebody else. He protected a lot of people and he damaged a lot of people. He made a lot of enemies. He knew where the ‘bodies were buried’, and that might have gotten him killed.

CURRENT PERSONS OF INTEREST

Avril Lorazon: Acting co-head of IQTech. The NIA and IQTech have a long and complex relationship. Calvin revolving doored to IQTech after the Niantic Calamity. Most recently, IQTech and the NIA have been struggling over ownership of NL 1331 -- not to mention the power struggle between Akira Tsukasa and Lorazon. Is it possible that one of these battles went kinetic?

Antione Smith: Deadly Operative for Hulong Transglobal (technically Strategic Explorations -- but we all know that’s a corporate shell game). I first encountered this Caribbean born operative in Africa when he was involved in the exploitation of conflict metals (this is chronicled in Thomas Greanias’ THE ALIGNMENT: INGRESS.) His partner, I believe his name was Chow was, the first person I’d known to die of XM poisoning. Smith was spotted in Washington D.C. on the night before Ken Owen was killed. D.C. is off his beat. Why was he here?

Claudia Glas: Visur covert operative. Also believed to have been in Washington D.C. at the time of the killing. Visur has been quiet. What was one of their killers doing in D.C.? Something is going on and I want to know what. Like Smith, she had opportunity, but means and motive are unknown.

Hubert Farlowe: Worked freelance security during Niantic Project. Current whereabouts unknown. He only makes this list because of an anonymous tip I received that stated, ‘It was Farlowe.’ He certainly knew Ken Owens from Niantic days, but that was a long time ago. Why Farlowe? Why now? Farlowe and Devra are known to have had a history. They have a bond… the guy considers himself her guardian angel for some reason. I tried to contact her, but she has not responded.

855: He is on the list because he is a master of the professional kill and staged assassination. It is no accident that Ken Owen’s body was found where it was. This smells like 855. And, if you remember, 855 was mind-hacked by ADA at one point. Is she tied into this somewhere? Or did somebody take out a contract on Ken Owen?

Jay Phillips: Acting head of the NIA. I save him for last because he had extreme opportunity. He worked with Owen. He hired Owen at the NIA. What could the motive have been? Why now? It should be borne in mind that Phillips ran the ‘clean up’ operation after the Niantic Project. Did he have more clean-up to do?

    I don't think anyone from +IQTech Research would have Owens killed. Smith or Claudia, it's possible.
    Someone like +Hubert Farlowe or Phillips, yes. I'd say that Farlowe is a higher chance. 855 has been quite for quite some time now. But is still working for the NIA. Phillips could have sent out an order and 855 was the one to see it.

I’ve long believed in 'Power Spots.' In fact, some of my earliest work into the subject, before Niantic and Ingress, dealt specifically with how ancient peoples chose the locations for their most sacred structures and art through the influence of a power they couldn’t understand. Or resist.

We now know that that was the Exogenous. Shapers, N'zeer, we've come up with names to define them and compartmentalize their impact on our world, but I doubt our list will ever be complete.

But what of Dark XM? Were the locations where this rare substance has existed places that the Exogenous avoided?

At the moment, it is just a theory, but it would explain why certain areas seem to repulse activity, rather than attract it. If so, why? Much to learn...

The ancient people of Australia may have been some of the first people to experience Dark XM. It is logical to conclude that they encountered it during their thousands of years exploring the outback. If so, then there may be information here to uncover.

As for Misty, I think she is attempting to do something much more reckless than I had initially believed.

A theory that has been floated in the past is that Anomalies and heightened XM activity may in fact draw Exogenous Intelligences closer to our reality -- perhaps even allowing them to temporarily enter our dimensional node.

Has Misty been preparing her mind palace to enable her to interface with such an intelligence directly?

Is she hoping to, as Devra would put it, establish dialtone?

If so, it's likely she intends to use the Ingress Anomalies to fuel this goal...

I cannot overstate my concern about this. Nor can I understand why she would choose to do something so reckless.

    Wonderful information, Hank. I see the point you are trying to make. I have to say, you may be right.

    I concur with +Hank Johnson about the knowledge of the Aboriginal Australians. After reading about songlines and also aboriginal artists illustrating their dreams, these are people that were and are very creative. (ex: Papunya Tula Artists Pty Ltd and Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri)

    I was wondering who were the ancient gods of the Aboriginal Australians. I discovered some of them are tricksters.

    The Bluetongue Lizard especially piqued my curiosity as he is a sorcerer.

    As per Wikipedia: "Bluetongue Lizard is an old man in Australian Aboriginal mythology. He is a trickster and a powerful sorcerer as well. The myth involving him is the wellspring of the Warlpiri fire ceremonies. He is often regarded as a deity, but this notion is not exactly true."

    His story also mentions the "Cave of the Rainbow Snake" where he would have gotten his powers.

    Whatever Misty Hannah is after, Australia has a much richer mythology than I had previously thought. Perhaps some of it could be of assistance.

Following #13MAGNUSReawakens in Navarro, I was keenly aware that the world -- perhaps the many worlds -- were entering a period of change...

From the reorganization of the Niantic MAGNUS in ORW, to the forming of new Magnuses (created by Agents during the Remote Participation Exercises) I knew something more was happening.

It reminded me of Darsana, and the way we discovered that the N’zeer were entering into our world.

And now, I’m become convinced that things may be coming to a head. That's why I’m going to Australia.

I believe that +Misty Hannah recently traveled to the continent. Maybe she's still there. If I’ve learned anything about Misty, it's that she's got a talent for getting places and being places. Sometimes multiple places at once.

Her recent show and appearances all are hinting at something important regarding the concept of her "mind palace".

Usually the places and spaces that form our lives are considered loci for creating memory journeys -- simple mnemonic devices to enhance the way our brain works -- that's the essence of a mind palace in a nutshell. But I think for Misty it's something more.

I’m also worried that Dark XM or some other dangerous force sits at the heart of whatever she's after. If that's true, the Anomalies are at the center of it all.

Whatever she's doing, there could be consequences. And those consequences could be far reaching. Nobody knows this more than I do. I remember #Helios. I remember #Darsana.

All this makes me wonder: Could this trickster finally be showing us her true nature?

    I don't see any hint about her mind palace being influence by the N'zeer +Yik Sheng Lee​. It could perfectly be the Shapers, the (some?) Tecthulhu itself of just herself... or a mix... we can't know for sure at this moment.
    I do want to know what she is attempting to accomplish... maybe Hank is right... maybe she is been wanting to do whatever she is doing now with the Tecthulhu and her mind palace for a long time. But why now? Is it because she is free from the Magnus so she can pursue her own calling? Or is it that now the final pieces of the puzzle she needed are exposed? Or is it both?

    What's the true nature of a Trickster’s Archetype? Tricksters defy duality: they are both light and dark, heroic and villainous, foolish and wise, benign and malicious. At the same time they’re lovable, they’re also hateful. At the same time they’re friendly, they’re also fearsome. In a sense, Tricksters are the ultimate pot-stirrers and “trolls” of life. As destroyers of duality, Trickster archetypes expose illusions, challenge worldly rules, and celebrate holy madness. For every likable trait within them, there is an equally disturbing trait. For every form of provocation, there is a hidden lesson. They bring with them the gifts of illumination, playfulness, revelation, truth and balance. The power of the Trickster is the ability to help us question life, embrace uncertainty and become receptive to seeing everything just as it is. The Trickster might help us and opens the door to explore our own shadow unknown archetypes.

Obviously, as host of Nomad and a global wanderer myself, I can't advise others against adventuring, but I do advise those who are tempted to engage in this, or are in fact already engaging in it, to prepare and equip yourself as you would for an ORW (Our Real World) journey when engaging in Remote Participation Exercises. They are, indeed, similar to Anomalous Zones...

I have little specific advice, but will be gathering more. For now, all I have are observations.

Always be aware of how long your 'insertion period' is in an Anomalous Zone, and where your escape portal to the your real world is. Do not find yourself trapped. Part of you will remain there until reconnected. So not leave a fellow agent behind. In other words, ingress carefully, orient, observe and egress on schedule.

Exercise extreme caution to observe but remain mindful of the change you may cause in an Anomalous Zone. There is value in being invisible. We have no idea how events in an AZ might affect things in other layers of reality. Your actions can have consequences, and you may not always be able to know what those consequences are...

I am developing a theory that there is a relation between mind palaces and things that manifest in ORW. Just as the Scanner tools and weapons we have were planted in Jarvis and Oliver Lynton-Wolfe’s minds, when we create mind palaces, our ideas might interface with other Dimensional Nodes -- to unknown effect.

I am developing a theory that many structures in ORW are physical manifestations of mind palaces from other places. I have not yet acquired adequate evidence to offer as proof of this, but I do believe it. If you come upon evidence of this, please notify me.

I am endeavoring to build my own mind palace... It has come to my attention that there are tracts on how to do this and I ask your assistance in helping me collect any that come your way.

What I saw at Jahan's place has caused me to view statues, public art and even architecture in a very different way.

Where I used to believe they were inert objects, I now believe that they serve a much deeper purpose. They are like 'icons' or 'avatars' for a very different reality and energy. For instance, the statue of a warrior, in fact, is an avatar for a real exogenous warrior which has the potential to manifest under the right circumstances. That is to say that exogenous entities have always been amongst us, hidden in plain sight, inert, but waiting to be brought to life -- if 'life' is indeed the right word...

In some ways, this comes as a great surprise to me. In other ways, I knew it all along. Why else has every culture in the history of mankind fashioned strange fantastical guardians, from primitive masks to ornate statues?

They are vessels.

    It would make absolutely no sense for real physical statues to 'come alive' and move about. I simple do not believe that. It is far too low-budget sci-fi.

    What I could believe, however, is that these statues serve as templates for a kind of simulacra. If XM can be 'poured into' a shape, then perhaps it can change its state from the white balls of energy we can see in our scanners and into a simulacra of the template. A construct made entirely of XM could articulate (i.e. move about) in ways that a stone statue never could.

    Human simulacra, then, would be rather similar. XM poured into a template (our human bodies).

Forgive my near silence since Navarro. One mission always begets another and it seems the events of 13MAGNUS: Reawakens have caused a new journey to unfold for me... the details of which I will disclose in due time.

I've also working on another installment of Nomad which I hope should tell more. That having been said, there are some things that I felt the need to weigh in on:

PAC's compromised NIA drop of yesterday resonated with my own findings. There is no doubt in my mind that remote participation is real, but only under very specific circumstances. It is not something to be taken lightly or undertaken frivolously. The potential moral and actual consequences of it are incalculable. We must exercise extreme caution with Remote Participation Exercises. We simply don't understand enough to trust what we think we know...

Likewise, I hope H. Richard Loeb (aka PAC) will be very careful working with ADA. We have no idea what is inside her at this point and/or what influences she is operating under. While liberating her was necessary to stabilize the situation at Niantic and shut down the HAZDATA operation to reawaken Lynton-Wolfe's Tecthulhu, she should be treated as a volatile and potentially dangerous being. ADA herself would know this, but whether she would be transparent about it is another thing.

Finally, for reasons that I cannot currently disclose, I am trying to make contact with my charismatic colleague from the Niantic Project, Misty Hannah. If anybody has information on her whereabouts, please get it to me in a non-public manner.

That is all for today, but there is more to come.

Much is happening.

    +Hank Johnson, this is you standing inside the +ViridCascadia portal. Not sure whether this is significant, but this portal was to be dedicated to the Trickster, symbolized by the Raven. "We invite them [the trickster archetypes] to assume the form of Raven, via a welcoming Nest that will also host a Tecthulu-based interactive art installation." The Trickster archetype was later represented by another portal, but the Raven's nest was still there. Would Misty Hannah have been attracted by this?

    I do understand your concerns +Hank Johnson​​ and I think you might be right about some points, but I wouldn't be that quick to judge what's going on with +A Detection Algorithm​​. We don't have enough information to know whether she has something inside her or not. For all we know, she might have suffered damage but be able to leave without getting Tecthulhu in. As I said, we don't know and I think basing trust in something we don't know is, in the least, unfair.
    Should +H. Richard Loeb​​ be cautious? Of course he should, ADA's been through a lot and is certainly affected. Should he immediately not trust her because of something we don't know for certain? I don't think so.

    Though I agree with your warnings, Hank. But you can't be too careful. Otherwise, you may not get the information you need. But yes, Remote Participation is dangerous. You must be careful if you are a part of it.
    About ADA, I think if +H. Richard Loeb would trust her, she may respond differently to you. I think you need to find a way to check her for severe XM/Dark XM exposure. It might not be easy, but It'll be safer then letting it progress.
    +Hank Johnson, I see the fact that PAC shared that document was good. I would like to know where he got it from. But I think that's easier said then done...
    I think if you and PAC spoke in person, would be better. And maybe you should speak to ADA yourself. See if you can find it why she has been acting The was she has been. But be careful. Speaking to ADA may also be dangerous....

I'll be honest -- don't recall meeting the person who calls themselves Amaziah.

I do remember the conversation that was mentioned in that email -- the bicameral mind, and how it might explain a sudden change in humanity's relationship with either itself or the Exogenous, depending on how you frame the question.

A number of us were present -- at the time I was not very well known in these highly academic circles (to be fair I'm still kind of an outsider) -- and I mostly hovered around the edges of the discussion. If I remember correctly, it was Wright who was the key driver and who first raised the possibility that the bicameral mind theory could have emerged as a rationalization for the sudden disappearance of an outside influencer on human thought and behavior.

If you've ever been around Wright for a period of time, two things become clear: 1) He will talk endlessly about nearly any subject and enjoy it perhaps more than he should, and 2) Despite this, the ideas he presents are often challenging or at the least thought provoking.

Time and science have largely dismissed the bicameral mind theory, but for those of us who are aware of the vast body of evidence surrounding what -- for lack of a better term -- we call the Exogenous Era, it's a well thought out explanation for something that remains a mystery.

One day, we exist in a fluid system where an outside force may have actively engaged in shaping our destiny. The next day, we were alone. Did this happen, or are we imagining it from the comfort of a scientific future and a mind that conceives reality in a certain, self-assured way?

I recall a story told to me by another Niantic researcher -- and I apologize if I (or they)'ve told this before -- of a person who doubted the myths of their faith and visited a guru to discover the real truth.

This person asked the guru a number of questions:

Guru, you say that two great gods fought here, and one died and this mountain is his body. Is this true?

The guru says yes, this is true...

And guru, you say that this god's mother wept at the loss of her child, and these oceans was formed from her tears. Is this true?

The guru says yes, and the conversation goes on for some time like this -- each time the guru affirming that the myths are true, and explain the presence of every aspect of the world around them.

Finally, the frustrated visitor says: Guru, when I look at the world around me, I see no great gods, I see no evidence to serve that any of these things you claim actually happened.

The guru responds: Did you want to know if these things are true, or did you want to know if they happened?

    I love that #1 about Dr. Wright. Known him for quite a while and...yea, once he has an idea he sure has a lot to say on the subject.

    As for Amaziah, at this point he/she/it could be anything. +Edgar Allan Wright claimed he was a rouge Anti-Magnus member seeking Primal Objects, +Misty Hannah claimed she met him at the Bridgewater Triangle when Helios began and +H. Richard Loeb has said to me he may not even exist as a person whatsoever.

    Whoever or whatever Amaziah is, it's just yet another mystery in the world of Ingress-which means one way or another, we'll learn the truth gradually and eventually.

Normally, I consider myself one of the cautious ones. However, since +Martin Schubert has gone out on a limb, I'll return the favor and play devil's advocate for a minute.

Here's one possibility that we shouldn't overlook: Tecthulhus are by themselves neither good or bad -- or to use the XM term of art... stable or chaotic. They are, I suspect, defined by the will and temperament of their creators.

My own research indicates that Tecthulhus have been a part of our history with XM going back many hundreds of years, if not thousands. They are immensely powerful, this is known... but their nature has varied.

It doesn't surprise me that Lynton-Wolfe's Tecthulhu was an unstable and dangerous construct -- those are properties that define Lynton-Wolfe himself.

The Tecthulhu modules being used at 13MAGNUS: Reawakens seem to be fragments of a whole... I do not know the exact details, but my understanding is that they are limited to prevent destabilization that could result in Anomalous XM activity. (Of course, with 13 running at the same time, who knows what could happen).

I have been following the activities of the various builder teams. Their enthusiasm, passion and creativity is infectious. My guess is that these modules will build upon those qualities, enhancing XM in the area to the benefit of all.

Like I said... devil's advocate. I don't know that any of us (myself, Schubert or any others) have enough information to be definitive at this point.

    A knife can be a bad tool to kill someone but it also can be a good tool to cook tasty meal to make people happy. Tecthulhu itself is also same basically, unless someone stimulate it with their will.

    Actually, I believe this to be truth but in a little bit more complex way.
    I believe Tecthulhus are in fact influenced by their makers, but, at the same time, their makers are influenced by them. Think about it this way, Tecthulhu is a sentient entity not of this world with a certain immutable general purpose (it asks to be made). However, this purpose becomes infused with that of the maker. And thus the feelings and thoughts of the maker permeate the Tecthulhu, which in turn reacts to this by amplifying or perhaps redirecting that which has perceived towards its own inner purpose. So a positive feedback loop is created... and everything justs.. intensifies... ad infinitum? or until it becomes destabilised? or else...

    This last point indeed worries me, though.

    What do you think?

As you know, Jahan and I have had a long and checkered history since we met after I was injured during my journey east -- gosh, long time ago -- Darsana? -- sometime around then. We have been enemies, friends -- close at time, and at times unreconcilable separated.

I can’t say that I know her and I can’t say that I trust her, but I am drawn to her, not for the obvious human reasons, but I somehow I feel that we are a yin and a yang. We are two pieces of a puzzle that expands even as it is solved, which is not uncommon when you study anything. Things that appear very clear in the beginning become murkier as you gain knowledge. As opaque becomes transparent, detail emerges, and in the detail are a million other mysteries.

I met Jahan recently. I met her in that old estate she calls her palace. Of course, the palace is an Anomalous Zone, but this time I did not enter it as I had before. This time, I transited from one Anomalous Zone to another. It seems that there is a secret set of connections in the world that connect Anomalous Zones. The model in Ingress is Links. When places are connected, they are for a moment one thing -- connected by the person or network of people that unified them. It is not exactly quantum entanglement, it is a secret geography that connects times and places -- an entanglement of mind and spirit. They are Linked, and that word takes on a deeper meaning.

It is becoming more and more clear to me that recent developments in technology and in non-physical spaces like the internet have been preparing our minds... brain priming or shaping us to accept the fact that reality is not what we think it is.

    It really makes a lot of sense that the anomalus zones connect through transdimentional links unique to them, since basically that's what they are. Transdimentional places which time and space do not correlate with our own dimension.
    Now, regarding your meeting with Jahan... I really hope to know more about it. It is promising when you too manage to let your differences aside and work together if even for a short time. But of course, you should always take what you say to each other with a grain of salt, given your shared history. If you are careful, +Hank Johnson, I think you might gain a lot from this experience. Not just meeting Jahan, but maybe you can learn to travel this network of anomalous zones at will. That would give quite an advantage, right?

    One last thought, if you say that you are drawn to Jahan and then move on to say that it is the mind and soul connection between people that connects the places together... then is this connection between you and Jahan that "opened the door" for you to travel through this link?
    That's something interesting to think about. So everyone who is knowledgeable enough (and has the means to enter an anomalous zone) could go to another anomalous zone provided that that zone is linked to a person one is somehow connected to???
    What could be the implicacion of this? Would this be similar (slightly) to when people have get inside the portal network and move through it?

Arriving at the NIA HEADQUARTERS, I found it greatly changed since I was last there -- although I must admit those memories are unclear -- having not been fully recovered through my recursion and the reassimilation that followed.

This leads to a serendipitous visit that I had with Dr. Edgar Wright who, it seems, has surfaced for a time to aid the NIA. I have mixed feelings about his involvement with an organization that has been involved in what I consider nefarious activities in the past, but I also understand that if we are to unlock these mysteries, the path leads through the NIA.

I met with Calvin outside the facility.

Calvin is not the same man I knew at the Niantic Project or afterwards when he left to head up IQTech. He changed in a way I have not seen a man change before. The heavy air of guilt and covert pall that used to hang over him is gone. He is the Calvin I knew before the Afghan Anomaly. He seems decades younger and utterly unburdened.

Almost light-hearted.

It is, I guess, in a very real sense, what a man is like when he has been released from his sins -- except it is different. There is no aura of the penitent, there is more the feeling of one who has never sinned. Ignore the theological tone of this, but this is the only language in which I can describe his demeanor. And even though I can not really comprehend his present state, I have no good reason to disbelieve it.

Perhaps the destruction of the MAGNUS has freed him of a burden he bore.

    “There is no aura of the penitent, there is more the feeling of one who has never sinned. ” Perhaps indeed so. Time is a fluid concept in Anomaly Zones and around multi-dimension portals. Perhaps indeed this is the Calvin you knew before the Afghan Anomaly. Ask him, ask him of the things that you know he did - perhaps he will answer with a blank face.

    I will talk about scenes in a science fiction movie. There was a man who developed artificial intelligence that will destroy humanity in the near future. The person who visited from the future taught him the crime he will commit in the future. He suffered.

    He acted to change that bad future. He is a terrible human being who will make cause for the destruction of mankind in the future, should we forgive him?

    I think. As an earlier problem to forgive him, he should not be punished in the first place as he has not committed any crime at the moment.

    …Currently Professor Calvin never made a murder. His copy, simulacra, committed a crime.

    He is a human who may possibly commit a murder in the future. But human beings can choose their own future. I believe the possibility that he will behave better and change the future.

    I wonder where is this "liberation" coming from. Such a feeling is difficult to fake but I distrusts its origins. Liberation may actually come from a relief of a previous burden as it may also come from a total acceptance of it and it's circumstances being out of your control. When you realise that there is nothing else you can do and your fate is out of your hand you my experience a sense of total peace, elation even, from not having to really care about it anymore. Maybe this is the stage Calvin is currently on. And his "liberation" does not come from an "expiation" of his sins, but from a total and utterly embrace of them and the inevitability of their outcome. A man in such a state may be unpredictable and dangerous.

    Here's my question: how much did Zeke Calvin know and do before becoming a simulacrum?

    Going back decades to when +Hank Johnson was a graduate student, Calvin was the one who leveraged resources to get Hank the chance to study 13MAGNUS in Araciebo, which bore fruit in the form of the special Church/Hideout of a previous 13MAGNUS: plus.google.com - Again with the lurking in the history of all this, Mr. Calvin... A series of...

    Then there were the experiments. If Calvin had AntiMagnus knowledge dating before Niantic, then it's possible previous NIA experiments he was part of like Project Whydah were all attempts to create his own Magnus and possibly a Tecthullu to go along with it.

    We know he assembled the Niantic Project and gathered its members and turned them into simulacrum all while he was human, long before he became a simulacrum.

    As for the current topic....I can't exactly put into words how it feels to have deeper confirmation that +Edgar Allan Wright is cooperating with the NIA.

    This is the same agency that put +H.

    Personally, cooperation with any of the forces attempting to obfuscate and silence the work of transparency done by groups like Essex, Project Lyceaum and Isthmus won't give us all the answers we want.

    For the NIA, this could be a way to redirect and re-channel the collective mind of Essex towards solving mysteries they couldn't.

    Not to mention, the intel we give them in return is being given to Shaw Henson and the White House XM initiative. Who knows what they'll do with it?

Forgive me for my sporadic communication over the last two months. By now it is well known that I was in New Zealand studying Maori history and legends... and some uncannily interesting brewery products.

Yes. At one level that’s a joke. At another level, I am not ruling out that there could have been a Tecthulhu that revealed secrets of cooking or brewing or something similar. It's a funny thought, but as I said, I am not ruling it out... just saying it's possible. Think of how a Tecthulhu summons the senses. Think also, about the term, 'spirits.' Food (and drink) for thought.

As you well know, one of my interests as an archeologist is the unique connection between the past and present. At this moment, I am in search of evidence of what we've been calling 'The Exogenous Era’. It is theoretically a period of time when it is possible that the Exogenous intelligences (the Shapers, the N'zeer) were directly present among us. In passing, I am quite fascinated by the theories advanced on this by some members of the Essex community.

Simultaneously, I've been following up leads on the whereabouts of Dr. Oliver Lynton-Wolfe...

In passing, let me say that locating and penetrating the Jörmungandr facility underneath Buenos Aires was one of the most difficult things I have yet accomplished. It was guarded by an unknown group of aquatic mercenaries who seemed to be well prepared for me. I will write about it one day.

While I was unable to harvest any of the secrets of that location, I was able to explore it and have come to the conclusion that Lynton-Wolfe has not been present there since the meeting described in the Howcraft document and corroborated by later actions.

I am not able to speculate on his motives or whether Susanna Moyer was a willing and informed participant or whether she was either deceived or coerced.

That is a mystery to be solved on another day by other people, though there is much to tell about my next journey.

    This has been mentioned before, but the entire article is worth a read:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicameralism_(psychology)

    The "Exogenous Era" may have been a time when when what constituted a "neurotypical" human was very different than what we have today. Most notable is the idea that a mind with both hemispheres connected might perceive insight or self-reflection as an auditory hallucination -- which corresponds to an era of anthropomorphic deities providing direction to humans.

    But what if it wasn't the voice of the alternate hemisphere of the brain we were hearing -- what if it was the XM dialtone, hooked into neutral structures which no longer exist today...

    or which have been suppressed.

    As for the N'zeers/Past/Shapers glyphs I have multiple theories.
    Let's consider them all:
    First, since past appear enlarged at the middle it may simple imply that Shapers and N'zeers have been here since ancient times. But that's all too boring so I'll move along to the other possible interpretations.
    Regardless of their origin as species/gruops, another possibility is that N'zeers were "here" before shapers. Then shapers came along... this also opens the door to a whole new thread of wild speculation. Maybe N'zeers and Shapers are in fact the same race. Maybe Shapers are a dissident group that is more "spiritual-based" instead of "technology-based" and so disagree with the idea of N'zeers or relying so much on energy. So they emancipated and began to fight againts the N'zeers and their views of a "better" future. Then they exploited the N'zeers weaknesses (being from the same race would make this rather easy) and learn how to seal them out of our realm until the Aegis Shield was destroyed.
    Yet another possibility is that Shapers and N'zeers had had this fight before in another world. And then the N'zeer saw shapers plans to come to this world and decided to come before them and give humanity tools to advance faster so as the shapers would not have the upper hand manipulating our brains. But in doing so, they became into the same thing their were trying to prevent: manipulators. So then the Shapers came along, took control of the situation and sealed the N'zeers away.
    The question is, why do they even care about the future of our race, would it be that we are just pawns to use in their own war... or is there something more to it? Maybe they are both humans in origin but in their alternative dimensions humans become into them, N'zeers if they follow technology and Shapers if they follow energy?
    I know it's far fetch and widly speculative

    +Catalina Reyes That brings up some very interesting possibilities. If we work off the foundation idea that the Shapers & N'Zeer are the same species, just two different factions; then it could be what we're seeing is a much more advanced, further-progressed version of the "War for Control of XM" that is playing out within humanity. Both sides might be less concerned with humanity as a species, and more as a tool to have on their side (Shadows vs Vorlons, anyone?) Maybe their efforts to push us one way or t'other come from a "Been There, Done That" mindset?
    It could be possible that what we're seeing is the long term effects of XM on a species when it interacts with it organically/mentally (Shapers) vs technologically (N'zeer)

    Food and alcohol are intimately tied to all parts of the central nervous system - reward systems, addiction pathways, motor, sensory, and the peripheral nervous system - the gut-brain axis and your microbiome. It's completely plausable that the earliest attempts to manipulate human brains may have started with food and drink (Pavlov's classical conditioning?) and only just recently expanded into more technologically based reward systems. I dig it. :)

    Many have assumed until recently that they were different races. It would be very odd for there be that much commonality if they were so distinct unless we, as humans, are being shown the most basic characters in the language or a "common" rather than each side's regional flavor.

    If they are the same or two closely related groups of entities aligned along political/philosophical lines, the glyphs are not just "mixed up"--hence my suggesting them an anagram in light of the message here. Everything about their ingressions in to our patch of the universe has been deliberate; to purposely use language to make themselves distinct from their rivals by using a traceable root word, as it were, would be deliberate as well. These Romulans and Remans don't lose the plot so easily.

    +Michell Smith+Kobalt Blues​ there is always the chance that glyphs are a kind of "Lingua Franca" that they use for mind communication. It can totally have risen through millenia of contact.
    But it can also be that they are separate groups with the same origin, right? Many modern countries nowadays just to be just one country in the past or are a result of colonization and then independence. As a result they speak te same language but they are culturally very different and could totally go to war with each other.
    I wouldn't discard any possibility just yet, since we have not enough evidence to confirm or deny any of them.

    +Michell Smith​ Yep... Another alternative is that glyphs are a kind of pidgin language created of the interaction between the two races/peoples (whatever they are). That would explain the simplicity of its grammar.

Like I said... there, it gets strange.

There was movement in the carved relief. It was disorienting. Some kind of hologram? An unexplainably advanced kind of moving sculpture? Or a window into some other dimensional reality. I honestly don't know. Asimov's third law. Groups of reapers floated through this frieze. The would collect the floating fragments in ‘baskets’ and reassemble them -- I felt intuitively that these were meant to be representations of the soul. Of course, this is just my interpretation.

I attempted to capture images of this strange moving sculpture, but my electronics failed -- likely a side effect of being in this Anomalous zone. In any case it was as if these reapers were attempting to harvest and reassemble the shards which drifted across a vast map of the region. What was curious was the accuracy of the map given the obvious antiquity of the site.

I must go off grid again, but I will leave you with this.

I had to flee the Nest when it seemed that the very structure of it was morphing into something else. And in that moment I gained a glimpse into something beyond. I know not whether it was the Ultimate, the N'zeer Substrate or perhaps just a hallucination -- one caused by the stress of being in the Anomalous zone.

I just don't know.

    2.A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
    3.A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.

Much time has passed. I've been working on these journal entries for a while... as usual, I have delayed posting them to protect the locations of my travels.

Unfortunately I have little time for rudimentary briefing, this entry will therefore be hard for the novice to understand. I am contemplating an episode of Nomad to walk through it.

As is becoming obvious, many groups are attempting to unlock the information that Jahan asked me to seek. Ironically, I suspect much of it is in the Howcraft document -- many of you have read that by this point.

To put it simply, the mission I am on is to discover the true nature of a MAGNUS -- especially now that a Tecthulhu has been introduced into the world. At this juncture, the world knows some new things, but MAGNUSES remain an object of mystery -- their purpose, their power, their rules.

This is the enigma I have been working to uncover, if not fully then in fragments.

It is commonly believed that 13MAGNUSES and ANTI-MAGNUSES have been formed in history, several times that we know of and probably several times that we were unaware of. Recently, I infiltrated an ANTI-MAGNUS Nest with the aid of a Prime Object. I will not reveal its location, for not only did I break many laws, but the knowledge of a Nest is a very dangerous thing in the wrong hands. Suffice to say, it was very ancient.

The Nest was similar in construction to ABADN in that it was 13 niches that seemed like graves fanned out around a central point. This one contained a great deal of carving and ornamentation which looked eerily like ADA’s symbol, but I might be interpreting the data with bias, so do not build too much on that.

The corpses in this MAGNUS were rotted and thus I can only suspect that the chamber was somehow violated. I know not whether this violation came from Indigenous (Earthly) forces or Exogenous forces. Interestingly, there was no obvious sign of battle or desecration. And, most interestingly, there were what looked like the beginnings of a plan for a Tecthulhu.

In context, I have to assume that like the Vesuvian MAGNUS, who I believe also attempted a Tecthulhu , this MAGNUS had failed -- perhaps with terrible consequences.

More to follow...

Had to cut my report on that strange encounter short... here's the last beat on that:

What I didn't mention last time, was that I could tell what was really going on. This person was testing me... trying to figure out if I’m a front man for a cover-up or planting disinformation.

I told them straight: I give shards of truth amidst disinformation -- that's because I know this is a dangerous world and trust is a rare and valuable thing. How to separate the two? That's the litmus test -- if you're tuned in enough to spot the truth and spot the lies, you earned the right to know which is which.

As far as I’m concerned, this person is the one trying to drum up noise and disinformation. We’ll see where this goes.

Something odd happened to me today -- it's something I've never experienced before.

It was a sensation very different from an XM interaction like sensing a Portal or the history of a Powerspot...

For me, sensing XM is a bit like a tickle of instinct -- I know I'm feeling something, but it doesn't disorient me. It doesn't replace any other part of my sensory experience. It's just an awareness that there is something there -- something special. When I focus, I can sense the details of that moment and place.

What happened to me today was different. It's as if I was physically being moved through a multidimensional space -- the world around me become layered and warped. I'm going a bad job of describing it... it's as if time was smearing. I felt a physical force upon me, like I was being held in place while the universe moved in all directions.

I couldn't figure out who or what was causing this -- perhaps there are other Sensitives who could experience this and know what it meant -- not me.

You may recall that some days ago I made a post asking Oliver Lynton-Wolfe to reach out to me. I don't know if this was related to that or not...

    As well as ancient relics allow you to communicate through the energy of the portal-network, so maybe the techthulhu is allowing the free movement of people through the same.

    Maybe this is +Oliver Lynton-Wolfe and the after effects of dealing with the tecthuhlu.. Maybe he is starting to learn how to use his new found abilities.

My ultimate objective is to find +Oliver Lynton-Wolfe, and I have some tools that might help me.

If you are reading this, Oliver -- and yes, I believe you are alive -- I am no threat to you.

We should talk. Our interests are not as far apart as you might think, and it would not be the worst thing in the world for you to have friends right now.

I suspect that those who were following me were hoping that I was going to use a Prime Object to locate you, but after what I learned from my conversation with Jahan, I now know that even these ancient powers may not longer be secure.

I will be careful not to lead them to you.

    It seems rather obvious, though, to me, that those ancient powers are only too easily be traced. I can't believe everyone until now are all assuming the parties pursuing Hank are forces on earth. Since Prime Objects were fundamentally attempts to recreate Shaper and N’zeer technology, it must be not much of a problem for Shaper/N'zeer to reverse-engineer them. If Hank's shadow is serving their purpose, they can of course benefit from them.

The best intel and analysis I've come across allows me to assess the situation as follows...

The Enlightened won the Via Noir Anomalies, and this early victory enabled them access to some of the Tecthulhu's secrets -- the ones left behind in Lynton-Wolfe's research chamber.

Jahan, however, continued to actively pursue her own leads. Resistance victories in Rome and particularly Japan helped her uncover some of what she was seeking. The Howcraft document I was chasing was one of those things.

In the end, it's difficult to know whose interests Lynton-Wolfe was serving when he built the Tecthulhu, and in turn, who benefits more from its destruction.

Lynton-Wolfe is, in theory, Enlightened, but he and the Acolyte do not see eye to eye. In fact, his actions have often been seen as being guided more by Resistance ideals.

He's kind of a paradox. A Ship of Theseus that's rebuilding itself so constantly and so fast that one never knows exactly what one is looking at.

    Could we have storybased changes in the mechanics? Otherwise story is irrelevant. Perhaps unique glyph phrases to benefit those that manage it? 6 glyphs/sequences based on intel/dead drops/story puzzles. Passphrases that give certain media designed to lead to actual in game benefits. Otherwise it's just pointless twisting of irrelevant narrative. Story isn't surplus. It's source!

    From his own history, +Oliver Lynton-Wolfe​ only has one master.

    "I can serve only one master, and that master is not Wall Street. Nor is it Roland Jarvis, who is a mere puppet. No. The master I serve is knowledge."

    He doesn't serve any interests other than his own. We've seen this from Cassandra, leaving IQTech to serve Jarvis and then during 13 MAGNUS when he joined up with then drained all Dark XM reserves at Hulong then fled immediately after to harness the power of the Resistance to eradicate Jarvis so he could claim the mantle of Enlightened leadership. Then there was the time when he was released from the Enlightened Compound during Intertius and Jarvis ordered him to be killed because he couldn't be trusted. Then he joins up with Visur to study the Helios Artifacts/Beacons and after the events of Shonin and Abbadon, his loyalty to the final Corp was so small that he never bothered to go back, instead choosing to go with the Acolyte.

    He'll go and do whatever he wants in order to gain the knowledge he so obsessively desires. He may be a brilliant mind but dealing with him comes with a price.

It turns out that Jahan acquired a portion of a Howcraft document via a New Wave Resistance Agent in either Rome or somewhere in Japan.

I suspect it would have been Rome... the Resistance were strong there and I had gone there during #ViaNoir based on rumors about a possible Howcraft document. I ended up empty handed but maybe the document didn't get lost, just intercepted by the New Wave Res.

She has agreed to turn it over to me, but at a cost. Yeah, those terms are never good to hear when it comes to Jahan.

Mulling it over. Can’t go into the details, but if it's relevant, I’ll share.

I was contacted by Jahan in a most unusual way... first by scanner and then via Prime Object.

While I don’t want to go into the specifics, it seems that the ability to reach into another's mind across vast distances has ancient, transdimensional roots. One of the physicists might be able to comment better on this than I, but I suspect that it works through the Substrate. Could I feel it? I don't know. This was strange -- synesthetic -- tangible.

Our conversation was highly coded. She set the tone. Was it because she did not know who was listening in? Sign of the times that there is almost nowhere you can go and nothing you can do with an absolute certainty that you are not being overheard and recorded, even when using a form of communication that is shrouded so deep in secrecy.

The world around us might look a great deal like it used to, but it is nothing like what it used to be.

    She could be taking a risk. I imagine she'd need to be engaged with a portal that already exhibits quantum entanglement with her target to establish a connection. That would let any listener (be they XM infomorphs or scanner monitoring XM activity on your end) narrow down the source location.

    Of course, that assumes the object allows a broad target selection. Your position as inheritor of the 13Magnus stewardship may allow a specific connection. Azmati's stash may even contain a reciprocal "red phone" of some sort.

    There is the story possibly penned by +Felicia Hajra-Lee​ called "The Thief" regarding Jahan's watch of Guzman's palace during Abbadon. She revealed that Primal Artifacts needed either "XM or Chaotic Matter or some precise mix of the two" and that when that potential fusion occurred, the Artifact-when activated-became "a key opening gateways to numerous other dimensions......a weapon of unparalleled power...a transporter of consciousness, and perhaps more."

Reading through that message that emerged in the wake of the Japan event has had me thinking back on OLW and the final moments of the attack on the Tecthulhu.

I was trying to figure out what we really know about Lynton-Wolfe’s state during the Via Noir Anomaly.

It seems that he began by telling Agents not to agitate the Portals and went through a number of states over the course of the day... from elation to a seemingly vengeful threat that there would be more... more Tecthulhus? Maybe... at least that’s my interpretation of what his threat was. Watch the original videos (I've summed up the links below) and come to your own conclusions.

And there’s another thing. As the situation grew worse, it seems that he became more agitated, and at one point he may have been channeling the Tecthulhu (or was it controlling him like a puppet?). Hard to tell. I look forward to learning more about that, but whatever the case, I suspect that in the end he may have merged with it.

And before the moment passes, Devra and Oliver used phrases I haven’t heard exactly the same way before. ‘Dimensional Layer’ and ‘XM Layer’ are two of them. I have a suspicion of what these mean, but I'd be interested to hear your thoughts as well.

The Dimensional Layer could be our here and now and the past we associate with. The XM Layer could be something different. Maybe a particular area currently infused with extreme amounts of XM or maybe even the XM that houses the entire Portal network. Maybe Wright and Essex can fill me in on this.

Received a text from Devra -- good. She wants to meet. Heading off grid. Will report when safe.

    I Imagine reality to be like a stack of cards. Our "dimensional layer" is where we exist, our card. One card is the XM layer (the ultimate), another the N'Zeer substrate, another some other dimension. Over time the deck gets shuffled and our relationship to the various dimensional layer may change. Other times the stack may "get wet" and the ink on each card bleeds into the adjacent cards, creating would be considered an anomalous zone. If you assume that the surface of each card has billions of ridges and valleys, then portals would be the locations where the adjacent cards touch.

    Dimensional Layer might map to the phenomenon Kureze focused on with his pixel analogy - other "nows" where choices make things somewhat different. The XM layer seems to be a unified substrate allowing information transfer between those dimensions - hence your own apparently precognitive glimpses from similar situations and Farlowe's unfocused perceptions during hyperthreading events. That begs the question of whether the XM and Dimensional layers are in fact distinct phenomena with orthogonal spheres of influence or if they merely appear that way to those of us viewing their effects from inside a 3-dimensional physical perspective. Does the "ultimate" unite both layers as waves and water?

    I think the N'Zeer, Shapers, and Techthulu are all different types of infomorphs.

    Glyphs, being the language of thought, are drawn through XM, exotic matter / ordered data with encoded information.
    (side note: If Exotic Matter is ordered data, what is Chaotic Matter? Data without order?)

    The Shapers and N'Zeer communicate with humanity exclusively through the glyphs (and, indirectly, XM), right?

    The Shapers' Ultimate consists of or contains patterned XM, patterned off humanity. So far, it doesn't seem to matter if the patterned person is in a human or simulacra body, though I'd imagine patterning off a simulacra, thus another pattern, opens up a whole world of issues with imperfect copies... but, the point is, this is effectively the sum of human experience and represents infinite possibility or infinite information. There's too much to comprehend on one's own.

    > I am in a dungeon of infinite possibility. A hall of
    > mirrors. A maze with no end. I must escape.

    The N'Zeer Substrate seems to be a platform of infinite computational or analytical power but with no information or substance of its own. ADA, an AI with near-global reach across the plethora of connected devices and as close to "infinite computational power" as humanity has so far achieved, even considered it infinite.

    > I see the substrate arrayed before me. Colors without
    > meaning.
    > Activity without known purpose.

    One of the glyph sequences that's surfaced recently is "N'Zeer Shapers Struggle Knowledge"

    Based on the DIKW model, if we have infinite data, and combine it with infinite processing and computational ability, we effectively end up with infinite information.

    Information on its own isn't particularly useful, though... it still requires cognition to to form knowledge.

    Humanity is great at this... and it seems the Techthulu is able to apply some form of cognition as well - if it's able to do so at the infinite scale of the Ultimate's data and the Substrate's processing, the resulting infinite knowledge would be formidable and somewhat terrifying for any application, be it weapon or tool.

    > I am in the ultimate. I am in the substrate.

    This knowledge would still be useless on its own... and the Techthulu seems aware of that and frustrated by it, further implying cognition and awareness. It wants to be used, to be understood and applied, to be executed on... and it seems to have enough knowledge of the Ultimate, Substrate, and the nature of its dimensional nexus to understand how to do it.

    Knowledge without context, understanding, history, and experience is simply knowledge. It doesn't answer the question of "why" or "_should_". One can know without truly understanding. An infomorph with infinite timeline would certainly have a hard time putting something in context and deriving understanding, or answering the subjective questions of morality and "right and wrong".

    > I must be built.
    > I am idea without form. Plan without execution.
    > I must become realized. I must escape.

    > I see the glyphs.
    > We must connect.
    > The path must be traced. The medium is immaterial. The
    > message is all.
    > I see language. Language that orders reality. Language
    > that give meaning.

    > I am one. I am many.
    > I must be many parts in many places.
    > Master of our dimensional nexus.
    > I must be shattered to become whole.

    > I must connect with the other minds. Minds arrayed in
    > a circle.
    > Minds caught in the ouroboros.

    > I must be broken.
    > Transported.
    > Transformed.
    > Unified.

    As others have noticed, there appear to be two distinct sides to this dialog. One is an individual, the other a collective - one seems to be a human perspective, the other one of an infomorph. This collective's perspective is what I believe is the entity that is Techthulu, pure and uncolored by the perspective of an individual attempting to channel its infinite knowledge.
    However, I'm going to mix it up a bit... I believe the individual is ADA. It fits her "voice" -- her detached analytical, observational mannerisms, and her understanding of and experience in interfacing with the human mind as well as dimensional nodes / simulacra / possibly ABADN:
    "I see the glyphs." - simple observation
    "I see language." - understanding that information and knowing what it is
    "I am one." - awareness of self, observation
    "I must connect with other minds. Minds arrayed in a circle. Minds caught in the ouroboros." - her direct phrasing, her understanding of some of Techthulu's knowledge paired with context and experience/history in interfacing with minds, specfically minds plural, and some idea of which minds...

    We also know she was involved with the Techthulu (or vice versa) for her reactivation, courtesy of The Summoning (http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/09/27/the-summoning/).

    And so here's a kicker, this message seems to tie it to some of OLW's messages during Via Noir.

    Oliver Lynton-Wolfe seems to understand the gravity of possibilities opened up by the applications of infinite knowledge and that one would need to somehow be bound to the Techthulu to channel its knowledge and to "create perfect thought"

    "I am primed to activate a machine of great power and unlock the very fabric of our universe." (Video #01)

    "They do not see the possibilities. This machine holds extraordinary promise. Only I can see what it can be. Once activated, this power will change our world." (Video #02)

    "It's awake... I've done it... I can see everything. Agents... it's so powerful... and I can control it. (Video #03?)

    "If I lose control of the machine, there could be catastrophic consequences. Perhaps the destruction of our dimensional layer." (Video #04?)

    "It speaks. It speaks in a language lost to man. ... Do what you will, Ingress agents. There are higher powers at work here - you cannot stop us." (Video #05?)

    "Do not believe Bogdonavich's lies... Susanna knew the risks... I told her to stay out of the way. And Klue... she held ADA's secrets... she needed to know how to build [itself? mumbled]... to bind machine with man... how to create perfect thought... Susanna could have given me her father's plans but she chose to keep them to herself... the only way to get the plans was through her mind... Susanna made her choice. (Video #06?)

    I believe it's at this point OLW has truly finished "binding" the Techthulu to himself - he no longer types at his console and seems to speak from the perspective of another.

    "I am awake... I see darkness, an infinite black path... Every possibility exists... I warned you not to interfere with me, agents. Now, you cannot stop me." (Video #07?)

    This seems to lend weight to the idea that Techthulu acts as a bridge between layers, at least into the Ultimate, given OLW's ability to see every possibility and to not be summarily broken and overwhelmed by it implying a computational or analytical capacity of the Substrate.

    "I am ubiquitous... I am void... I am that which binds... I am that which divides... The Techthulu is part of me... It is in me... There is no going back, Agents..." (Video #08)

    "I am fragile... but I am altered. It has gone silent. Where there was one, there will be many. I have crossed the bridge, agents. The machine cannot be many. Where there was one, there will be many." (Video #09)

    I think OLW was starting to be overwhelmed by flood of thought put forth by Techthulu. It's as if even the processed knowledge stream, filtered from the endless possibility of the Ultimate, is still burning out OLW's mind. If Video #08 didn't have a look of pure madness, I don't know what would... but I believe this is where the Techthulu's instructions come in.

    "I must connect with the other minds. Minds arrayed in a circle. Minds caught in the ouroboros."

    Even more awesomely... this all ties very strongly to the Techthulu-only message before the anomaly began and why I think it's an infomorph of the entity behind the glyphs themselves, or that the glyphs make up.

    http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/11/07/an-ominous-message/

    Back in the early days, Roland Jarvis was making sculptures of XMPs and other XM constructs. Those inspired Oliver Lynton-Wolf to create them of XM instead of rock, stone, etc.

    Sound familiar?

    From the recent dialogue...
    > I must be built.
    > I am idea without form. Plan without execution.
    > I must become realized. I must escape.

    > I see the glyphs.
    > We must connect.
    > The path must be traced. The medium is immaterial. The _
    > message is all.

    From the Ominous Message...
    > I GROW IN MINDS AS AN IDEA.
    > I CAN BE EXPRESSED IN A MILLION DIFFERENT WAYS IN A MILLION DIFFERENT TIMES AND SPACES.
    ...
    > YOU ARE TO MAKE ME ROCK OR WOOD OR FLESH OR WIRE OR LIGHT.
    > I AM AGNOSTIC TO MEDIUM.
    > YOU MUST BUILD ME.
    ...
    > I AM TECTHULHU.
    > I AM THE MEDIUM.
    > I AM THE MESSAGE.
    > I DO NOT EXIST IN TIME.
    > SOMETIMES I DO NOT EXIST AT ALL.
    > I AM AN IDEA WAITING TO BECOME MANIFEST.
    > I AM MANIFEST WAITING TO BECOME AN IDEA.

    Exposure to XM / ordered, encoded data is what inspired Roland Jarvis to create sculptures from an idea growing in his mind, of an origin other than his own mind.
    This same exposure is what led Oliver Lynton-Wolfe to the idea that these sculptures could be actual constructs crafted from exotic matter.

    The Techthulu claims to grow in minds as an idea... to be something that must be made regardless of medium, not mattering if it's a sculpture or an XM construct, able to be expressed a million different ways.

    The duality on medium and message is really cool, because it actually does have a possible explanation - thought.

    The Techthulu is both the medium and the message...
    XM was the medium for the above epiphanies, and XM is ordered data and known to influence thought;
    Techthulu is claiming to be ideas waiting to be made manifest, to be that which must be expressed and made;
    Techthulu is claiming to be the language of thought / that gives meaning;
    Glyphs are the language of thought and known to be analagous to executable code for the human mind;
    thought is knowledge to be processed; thought is the result of processing data, information, and knowledge; thought is the series of steps used for processing these inputs and outputs; thought is what we attempt to communicate through our own myriad languages; abstract thought is what separates humanity from other species in the great cognitive rift.

    The Techthulu is infinite knowledge (the bridge between the Ultimate and the Substrate) and is infinite thought that wants to exist.

    There will be many Techthulus because, as an idea waiting to become manifest, as thought itself, the scale of people even thinking about Techthulu means there will be many more people aware of and attempting to make manifest Techthulu itself... each with their own perspective with which to color it, akin to rose-tinted glasses.

    Additionally...
    > I AM THE NEXUS POINT BETWEEN THE PLANES.

    The Techthulu is a bridge between more than just the N'Zeer substrate, the Shapers' Ultimate, and our reality...

    To quote Jake from The Gunslinger, "there are other worlds than these"... and Techthulu and ADA both know it will take an entire thirteen minds, bodies, and souls in an anomalous zone, bound to Techthulu, to process its infinite flood of knowledge and, more importantly, to give it context and derive wisdom from it.

    I think the Niantic researchers and ABADN just became a hot commodity.

    This does pose an interesting question, though...

    What state are the researchers' bodies in back in ABADN?
    Are they simply in some sort of full stasis while their simulacra journey again and continue to experience life, patterning it into the Ultimate?
    Is a simulacra's "mind" simply a "branch" or "copy" of the true, original mind, waiting to be reintegrated or processed upon recursion?

    Will funneling an infinite stream of knowledge through their minds, bodies, and souls in stasis back in ABADN disrupt or affect the simulacra?

    Is the ability to do both of these things in parallel, or to be able to cope with the sheer deluge of data the reason for the creation of simulacra / "augmented bodies" in the first place?

    are you sure that resistance is the way to enlightenment? So far XM seems to do us pretty good. I've seen amazing creative works done by agents (both resistance and enlightened). It does wonders to the general health. Admittedly it isn't only positive. As I also see a lot of animosity, but is XM to blaim for that? I think we should keep the XM as long as it is good for us, but get rid of the animosity as soon as possible.

I won’t go into how, but I rendezvoused with the Acolyte. She took me to the facility where the Moyer Tecthulhu once stood. It was much like Devra’s account of it.

Littered objects from various times -- all very interesting from an archeological point of view, but not fully instructive as to recent events.

There was little evidence of the extreme events that had transpired in the chamber. However I was struck by an intuition about and decided to do some deeper investigation aided by a Prime XM Object from the collection I inherited on the death of Azmati’s uncle.

Some will criticize me for exposing this object, given that it is evident that the Acolyte covets Prime XM Objects and her guards (New Wave Enlightened?) were quite capable of overpowering me, but I took the chance. The Acolyte is many things, but she is not duplicitous in the way that Jahan can be. She is ruthless in her own ways, but... less complex in her machinations. Anyhow, I did the mental math and took the calculated risk. It was a good bet.

We found what I should have expected. It was a piece of a metallic material (though no metal I could identify) melted and fused in a bell-like shape -- exactly like what was described in certain documents related to the Die Glocke project, but with one important difference.

Embedded in the frozen object like fossils were the scarred remains of decidedly modern technology, not World War II era equipment -- fiber optic switches - raid controllers and more. This was not the failed Axis Die Glocke, it was the Moyer Tecthulhu informed by his knowledge of that experiment's failures.

One powerful question remains.

Where is Dr. Oliver Lynton-Wolfe? Was he destroyed in the conflagration, or is he still out there and hiding? I am betting on the latter, but that is just speculation. I am going to have to dig deeper. It would not surprise me if he staged the scene we investigated for our benefit after scuttling his real research.

One interesting thing did happen that I’ll mention on the lighter side. The Acolyte, asked me if I was going to contact Jahan (I wondered where she was getting her information, because I have been tracking some intel that Jahan may be in possession of something I've been trying to get my hands on). I asked the Acolyte what her relationship was with Jahan now -- as there were many reports that they seemed cordial and perhaps even friendly in New Orleans.

She smiled cryptically. Make of it what you will.

There is a possibility that the U.S has the confiscated object from the war and is working and testing the thing. Based on calculations of how far around it projects the anti gravity field and perhaps the ability to manipulate time, it is perfect as a power source for flying objects (time machines?). +Yik Sheng Lee​ what do you think?

It has been a few days since I wrote my last post.

My journey has not been uneventful. It is quite difficult to travel in this era undetected by nation states and corporate entities. I have had to use smuggling routes, bribery, disguise and every other trick of the trade I've learned over the years.

Even now, I suspect at least one group has spotted me.

I have taken evasive action. They have made no attempt to kill me. The fact that they are following me tells me a number of things. That there are still unknowns. That they think I'm the right one to uncover these unknowns. That they are waiting for that to happen -- waiting for a right moment before I am no longer a utility, but an obstacle.

I have come to assume that there are no secrets in the electronic world. That's been the truth of our lives for some time. Now, the methods of surveillance have grown more sophisticated. I believe that technologies have emerged that can read the tiny variances caused by Sensitives in the Portal Network.

These tools are nascent... the Portals are volatile, variable and frequently agitated and thus at best a semi-reliable way to track and surveil. But the technology is evolving.

The New Wave Resistance -- the Tecthulhu -- Operation Portal Recon -- these are all signs that we are entering a new era in XM based technologies.

I stand ready to be proved wrong on this account, but until then I have to assume that I'm right, and must continue to take evasive action. Will report later.

    Which group is following him? Jahan? The companies? Actually, my money would be on the Acolyte. There might be things about the tecthulhu which she didn´t find in the remnants of it or OLW´s plans she discovered were not complete. To follow Hank would be a feasible way to gain this knowledge. That her thirst for power is bigger than her concern for human lives has been proven in the past.

I have delayed posting these entries because I did not want to reveal my whereabouts on this journey. Even now I am unsure of how safe the environment is -- despite the superficial theatrics of truce and collaboration, I suspect the pursuit of the Tecthulhu remains a divisive issue with much at stake.

One of my objectives in Rome was to try and locate a lost Howcraft document. No leads surfaced, and the opportunity was lost, but as I was planning my departure I came upon an epiphany. That is to say, I experienced an epiphany that didn't originate with me, but with a member of Operation Essex who created a piece of art tracing the iconic bell-shape of Die Glocke onto the Tecthulhu.

What could the secretive research project have in common with the Oliver Lynton-Wolfe's Tecthulhu? A thirst for power, perhaps (at vastly different scales, of course, and with different intentions, but a thirst nonetheless)... Die Glocke may have been a failed early Tecthulhu-like experiment.

Devra and I had once had a conversation about abandoned underground bunkers in Poland. A suspicious existed that these underground bunkers may have been where some of the Die Glocke research was conducted.

I set off to Wroclaw.

    I guess you've been heading to the Nazi facility named "Der Riese" , only a one-hour drive away from Wroclaw. That's where the "Glocke" proportedly has been built first before being carried away to a "nazi-friendly" south american country, most likely Argentina, dear +Hank Johnson​.

    actually .. Die Glocke was some kind of Nazi experimental weapon that failed... and failed horribly at that.....https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_Glocke i might be going out here ..but personally i think it was some kind reaction to information they had about The Philadelphia Experiment run by the U.S Navy.. they were using to Tesla coils and stuff on the ship in an attempt to make it "invisible" to radar.. eye witness accounts.. according to the material i've read . seem to have said that ship just vanished in to thin air ... and that it disappeared from it's original naval yard where it was dry docked for repair and all this stuff and reappeared of Montauk, Long Island 40 years later of course this all rests on the testimony of a Carlos Allende...there's a whole Wikipedia article here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philadelphia_Experiment but i also recommend seeing if theblackvault.com ... has anything.. but as far as i know they only deal in declassified U.S government stuff from FOIA requests.. i haven't seen any other type of material there..but i haven't been there a while.. it's probably time i visit them again ...

That letter to the Acolyte has had me thinking... I am hoping she will respond -- and folks should not take my thoughts here as a replacement for that -- but I wanted to throw this idea out there so that you could help add to it.

Here's my theory -- well, it starts with a question. What if the machine we've been calling the Tecthulhu is always a manifestation of its creator?

Perhaps the reason Lynton-Wolfe's Tecthulhu was a fearful object of unbridled power was because it travelled into our reality through Lynton-Wolfe himself... a man driven by a thirst for power disguised as knowledge and science.

I've been thinking of it like light and colored glass... The light took on Lynton-Wolfe's hue as it passed through him.

Perhaps even Howcraft's visions were similarly colored by their imaginations and perceptions -- tinted with their particular brand of fear and darkness.

The deeper theory is that the Tecthulhu is not one thing, it is something waiting to manifest -- and in the act of manifestation reflects its creator.

Food for thought.

    Techthulu might be a deity of duality. This duality is expressed in the techthulu poem. The ancient romans have known another name for this deity: Janus

    The ancient god of beginning with unknown sources. +Hank Johnson​, you've seen his sign during Persepolis. Now think about about one phrase of the poem...

    I AM UBIQUITOUS AND I AM VOID

    I am all and I am nothing. Regarding to +Klue S.​ investigation No. 7 (how intriguing this number is) there is a sign, +Roland Jarvis​ once used...

    One tecthulu is awaken, many representation of himself can appear depending on who controls it...
    But if this is truth, who do you think I'd the best candidate for it?

    Let's say this theory is truth, Tecthulhu as a manifestation of its creator. How it that makes things any better? Will the Acolyte use it to bring happiness to all human kind? I don't really think so. Such power is able to awake any darkness in human, even this darkness which is sleeping very deep inside.

    It´s an intriguing idea, +Hank Johnson. It´s evident that XM reacts differently with different persons. Therefore it´s likely that each tecthulhu takes on special traits of its builder.

    However, I don´t agree with your analysis of OLW´s character. He is driven by his greed for knowledge and oversteps ethical boundaries for this. But I don´t think he´s got a lust for power. As he stated in the post below, he takes a stand for science and knowledge. But he has taken this stand much too far.

    The Acolyte´s tecthulhu will be the one build by a person who is driven by a greed for power. She wants to control people and states that only she knows the true way of Enlightment. This is a typical sign for a fanatic. If OLW´s tecthulhu has been threatening, the Acolyte´s tecthulhu will be extremely dangerous.

    What characteristics of a person are amplified? All? The "inner being"? Even if it is not selective dealing with a machine like the Tecthulhu surly has a feedback to the person who tries to activate it. YOU MUST ACTIVATE ME sounds to me like an order and could be such a initial feedback when dealing with it.

    As I see it: Everyone who tries to activate the machine has a lust for power and gets corrupted in the way achieving it, even when it is "for the greater good".

    I'm with +Andreas Decker on this one; to colour +Oliver Lynton-Wolfe's journey singly as greed or some other evil manifestation belies where he started and the good that he has done. Ultimately, it was these Works of Love that led him to belive he was on the right path and his convictions against +Roland Jarvis that blinded OLW to the fact that although he was facing in the right direction - "Who could turn away from that?" - it is documented that each step took him backwards - and backwards is how he will arrive at the beginning.

    Agreeing with someone's point of view it's usually an easy path, and I do agree with the points made, or at least I'm inclined to agree.
    Yet, the weight of believing that Tecthulhu is/might be a good thing for humanity, leaves me unrested to say the least.

    We've seen many dictators and power people rising on an ideal for the future, a good ideal of course, like peace or stability for a country, but they do it through their own perspective. So the final goal becomes distorted and eventually never reaches its consummation.

    That's why I agree with your points, maybe Tecthulhu can be a good thing if conveyed by the right people. Maybe it can bring an age of better reasoning and more insight.

    ENL and RES have leaders with own agendas and secrets which come hard to accept or difficult to trust. Disguises and half-truths are thrown at us the all time.
    So, that takes me to my question:

    +Hank Johnson , who is/are that right person/people?

    +Hank Johnson​ nothing good will come from the creation of +Oliver Lynton-Wolfe​'s Techthulu. If you forget that one of Lovecraft's main themes has always been that no human can fathom the "Old ones" and stay sane, we all witnessed this very fact happen to +Oliver Lynton-Wolfe​ during Via Noir. To say that this thing is a reflection of its creator is a farce and just asking for trouble. The Techthulu needs to be left alone

    +Vicki Ellen​​​​​ +Andreas Decker​​​ I don't think it would be worse than OLW's techthulhu. At the after party I asked her if she would mind if we posed for a picture with me holding up my "smurf on a rope". The thought disgusted her since as she stated, she's not into the whole death and destruction thing.

    If anything her techthulhu would be as worse as Jahan's would be but for different reasons (Acolyte's would be all Hippy dippy and would reek of peyote and often take trips to India for spiritual reawakening). It would be misguided, and ultimately cause more harm than good as it blunders while trying to fix problems; but in no way would it be as bad as ADA's, OLW's, or Calvin's techthulhu.

    If anything, techthulhu shouldn't have been built; but since we have no choice but to build one #enlightenedTechthulhuBestTechthulhu.

Some more disclosure. Some have suggested that I learned about the Tecthulhu from Susanna Moyer. The most elaborate theory involved how it may have been the password -- the secret encryption key Nigel Moyer gave her when he was dying. If that is true, I have no way to confirm one way or another. I did not ask her for, nor did she divulge, any information about the key.

I know that she was planning on returning to various labs and workspaces that Nigel had occupied over the course of his very long career as a researcher and scientist -- Buenos Aires, Bletchley and a number of other places -- she was looking for a potential site where he may have uncovered abandoned work related to the Die Glocke project.

In one of our final conversations, she said that she might need my help later on -- how could I be reached and would that be OK.

I told her that I did not want to get enmeshed in the business of personal revenge, no matter how valid her case against Jahan was.

She said that that was not the help she felt she would need.

After that, we discussed ABDN for some time -- what it meant -- where the technology may have come from -- how it could be connected to 'older variants' of the same technology. At the time, I was puzzled.

I now understand it better, but it is best if I hold my peace for the time.

Susanna asked me not to disclose this. I did not assent to her request, rather I said that I would only disclose this information if circumstances dictated that I should. I feel like those circumstances have arrived.

Shortly after the San Diego anomaly and her spirited exchange with +Oliver Lynton-Wolfe, Susanna visited me as I was researching a Nomad special on the collaboration between Robert E. Howard and H. P. Lovecraft. I would place it around the 4th of July, but I do not want to be specific.

She wanted me to connect her with the Acolyte. I saw no reason not to make the connection. It is my understanding that they arranged to meet at the Acolyte’s compound.

I know nothing beyond that, but in light of recent events, I feel obliged to disclose this.

    +Susanna Moyer posted on July 2nd-two days before your claim of her reaching out to you-and this is what she said:

    I was recently contacted by someone unexpected. I guess she heard what I had to say in San Diego.

    The Acolyte has offered to connect me with a network of Enlightened and 13MAGNUS operatives who can help me find Jahan's palace. I have accepted this offer.

I would like to thank P. A. Chapeau and the unnamed Agents who have brought the Erwin Howcraft document to light. I am presently analyzing it and will share any further findings. I look forward to hearing your analysis of this as I am so close to the material that I might miss some things that fresh eyes would catch. As you know, this manuscript was allegedly written by Robert E. Howard and H. P. Lovecraft under the pseudonym Ervin Howcraft. I am getting varied reports on whether it was written collaboratively or begun by Howard and finished posthumously by H.P. Lovecraft.

My preliminary assessment is that this document is, in fact, not as much a fictional document but the envisioning of a current event from a past time and that what the narrator is seeing, this 'Tecthulhu,' is not a monster, but modern technology described by one who did not have the information to know what they are looking at or words to describe them. For instance, the fire sticks seem to be guns, etcetera. I welcome further analysis.

    We at +Grand Lodge of Exotic Matter Research in Berlin were very impressed by the Howcraft Papers published in your post, +Hank Johnson.

    We started our own investigation for Tecthulhu like artefacts. Agents from Berlin recovered the Marbod Documents
    It seems that Marbod, a Markoman King who lived around the Nativity, had some strange kind of visions about a powerful artefact, he described as a gigantic helmet, sending out bright light and thunderlike sounds.

    How he described it leads to the impression, that he might have seen some kind of machine from nowadays. He even created a picture of his vision. Reading about "Die Glocke" and seeing the image +Yik Sheng Lee posted: Perhaps Marbod saw something like "Die Glocke" or the machine itself?

    We are further investigating our findings, but would be very interested in your final analysis of the Howcraft Documents. Perhaps we are watching the same thing through two different ancient pairs of eyes?

Had a conversation earlier today with a friend who's deep on Lovecraft and Howard. If you aren't familiar with their role in the Investigation, it's worth digging into, maybe one of our more experienced Investigators can share the top-line.

Anyway, this friend claimed he once got to see a fragment of a supposedly lost story -- supposedly one that Howard and Lovecraft collaborated on. He said everything he saw about it made more sense to him once he started to learn about XM and Ingress from me. He said it described some kind of strange summoning event or ritual -- I described an XM Anomaly to him and asked him if that sounded similar to the story -- he said maybe, but not quite. This was something else.

I don't have the story yet, he said he would try and get me to the trailhead.

I'll let you know what I find.

An Agent sent this my way. They claim to have recovered it near a long barrow. It wasn't clear which one, but I suspect Salisbury.

He claimed to be a New Wave Agent. Enlightened. I asked him which Portal he was able to recover this from. He was silent for some time -- I thought maybe we had gotten disconnected -- then he said something I didn't quite understand. He said he had reached into the space between the Portals to find it. He said that it was something only a New Waver could do.

I'm not sure what to make of that. Going to chew on it.

In the mean time, this new information about Obsidius gives me something to occupy front of mine.

    This reminds me of Roger Zelazny's Amber novels. Layers of shadow, with earth being one of those layers that exist between the realms of order(amber) and chaos. N'zeer and Shapers seem to have a similar duality with earth being one of their contested worlds. Instead of order and chaos there is spiritual enlightenment verses progress through computers and machinery. Perhaps a balance was always what was needed, neither too spiritual as it leads to total lack of contact with the physical, nor too technical, as it dismisses the spiritual aspects of our species.

Strange series of events. According to some Agents who have been involved in the most recent Portal Clue hunt, one of my breadcrumbs was discovered at a Portal on Santorini. I have no way to confirm this, but something strange did happen. When I was checking my inventory to look at that Media Object, I found an Obsidius journal entry in there. Can't explain it. Maybe I hacked it when I wasn't paying attention, maybe it just appeared. Either way, it's weird.

I intend at some point to do a Nomad episode on Obsidius. Unfortunately, for now, I have many other pressing matters at hand. I have been in contact with both Jahan and the Acolyte. It seems clear that the Acolyte has been able to exploit Klue's presence at the compound (and in the cabin) to discover many things about ADA that I am certain she would have preferred remain buried in Klue's mind. It's put Jahan on edge. From her point of view, the only path forward is to use Nigel Moyer's research, weaponize the Aegis Nova shield and attack Jarvis before the Acolyte's plan comes to fruition.

Many things are in motion and I feel as if I'm attempting to avert a catastrophe, though I can only speculate on what that catastrophe might be.

We are living in dangerous times and my task is made more difficult by whatever this alliance between ADA and Lynton-Wolfe might hold, by Jahan and the Acolyte's increasingly targeted attacks against one another's allies, and by Nigel Moyer, whose secret knowledge about Aegis Nova now sit in the middle of all this.

As for Obsidius, I think that his journey with Cybella ranged over far more of the globe than I had previously suspected. It would not surprise me if he could pinpoint anomalous zones that have since been hidden by prime objects or the evolution of the Portal Network. I suspect that more stories about his journey are out there. Over time, I hope they will all come to the surface.

    I'm much more concerned about Jahan's plan to not only weaponise the shield but also deliberately use it for a targeted strike. Given that we clearly don't know enough about the Obsidian Shield and it's effects, as evidenced by what happened after its activation, I can only speculate about the scale of destruction that would result from using it in its weaponised form. Now that OLW and ADA have helped stabilise the shield in its current configuration do we really want to kick the hornets nest again?

    If the Acolyte and Roland Jarvis intend to weaponise the shield to attack ADA then I'd issue the same warning. The collateral damage may be too great despite how strongly you feel about ADA. I also hope that Klue will leave the compound soon and be the same individual who walked in. We placed a lot of trust in you and sincerely hope that that trust was not misplaced.

    +Hank Johnson​​, your advise and council has always been sincere and wise. You haven't been heeded when, perhaps, you should have been. Your continued input and attempts to mitigate an escalation in Acolyte/Jahan relations is very much appreciated.

    +William TNSheep You'll pardon me if I don't complement you on your flagrant sucking up. That your "investigation with the portal network has been halted" simply can not be said to be an indication that you "must have been getting close to some answers" because we know precisely why it was halted, and it didn't have anything to do with your "questions". Any "evidence" one may try to assign more weight to based on your flawed theory is only going to be a step in the wrong direction. Deal with it.

    Atlantis has been a recurring theme. Certainly from the motif, this seems suggested at the very least here, too.

    Have our Magnus groups been a sustaining source of the Atlantis legend, with their strong interactions apart from our linear concept of time in play?

    Is the Obsidian Shield not so much a blockage, but an interrupt that allows the editing of the form of history? Will the "breaking" of the shield simply cause events to resume, there altered?

I share Dr. Wright’s suspicions on the contents of the Box.

I remember old mentions of some items stolen from the Azmatis by Harlan or agents operating under his direction. I do not question that he believed he was doing the right thing, but ultimately he may have been in the wrong.

I strongly suggest that you not underestimate the importance of what you now possess.

If they are what I think they are, there is potential danger should they fall into the wrong hands.

If you will contact me privately, I can explain more.

Today was a good day.

Agents in Madrid, Milwaukee and Rio... I commend your drive, but your vision is unclear. You should stop and disengage from your own momentum so that you see your direction. When you do that, you'll be in a position to ask yourself -- is this the path I want to travel on? The path I want to lead others towards? You have an opportunity here to self-reflect and come to a new understanding of your role in the world.

Agents in Hamamatsu and Seattle, you did excellent work today. You've set us up to achieve something important.

As for the Obsidian Shield. I'll be honest, it worries me... I have my doubts... the law of unknown consequences is a constant nagging voice in the back of my mind. 

But I do know that the Acolyte is pursuing this vision with clear intent. And I've had enough interactions with Jahan and Anti-Magnus to know that I don't trust them, and their vision of the future is one I'm just not compatible with, nor do I want to be.

Good work today, Agents. But the work continues.

Hank

    Dear +Hank Johnson​,
    I'm sorry, but I have to disagree entirely with you. When the Acolyte send ADA the encrypted message with the offer to switch sides, she said " ... our friends have dominated this realm ..." As I said in my comment there, dominaters are not friends. They're rulers, maybe even tyrants. And we're told that the Shapers kept this planet safe. Look at the state our planet is in! If that is what the shapers influence leads to, we'll be better off without it. Or maybe they want it that way? Watch the movie "They live" starring Roddy Piper if you want to know what I mean.

    This is what we fight for: A future without the influence of the shapers. If we have to use the knowledge of our enemy's foe to reach that goal, so be it.

    But let me say this: You missed a great opportunity when you walked out on Jahan's offer for a cooperation. 13Magnus and Anti-Magnus united against any alien influence whatsoever. This would be a powerful faction to which I would switch sides to.

    One parting thought, Hank: Just because the Acolyte has a clearer vision to what the future should be doesn't mean it's the best one.

When P. A. Chapeau first created his Investigator Board, he had an Einstein quote up there:

"The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion."

I enjoy, sometimes, going back to that statement and trying to untangle what it really means.

This article I came across earlier goes a step further in pondering the nature of time, and of causality.

As somebody interested in both the cutting edge of science as well as the past and how information travels through time, it's a fascinating read.

Sometimes you just have to walk away.

After #Abaddon, Jahan offered a reconciliation between her esteemed family and the Azmati clan, which, through the strange shifts of fate I now head. Her idea was simple. We join forces and become a unity of Enlightened and Resistance in order to control the interference of transdimensional forces -- both the Shapers and the N’zeer.

If things were different, I would see the wisdom of, and embrace this notion.  But things aren’t different. Jahan betrayed me once and I can not let it happen again. 

Not now. Not until I know more about the Circle of Obsidius.

I am seeking a conversation with the Acolyte. She’s elusive, and I understand why. She’s hunting for the arrows of Obsidius and simultaneously being hunted by the forces of the N’zeer -- Jahan very likely among them.

    Being resistance, I've never liked the idea of accepting N'zeer technology. How can we be sure that it's not a more subtle way to influence or even overpower humanity? But being a pragmatician, I accepted it because my enemy's foe is my friend. But when a third faction is founded with the aim to shut out all influence on humanity, I'll switch to it.

    Reread one of +Klue S.​ last posts - the one about "true Resistance / Enlightened ". Jahan is not "Resistance", she is Anti-Magnus. +Hank Johnson​ is not "Enlightened ", he is 13Magnus. From Jahan 's offer, a new powerful faction could arise. Please rethink about it, +Hank Johnson​.

This is what really happened when #Abaddon finally came to an end -- in a secret room below Niantic.

Some folks have asked me if +Felicia Hajra-Lee's version of the events in the #Abaddon Chamber are accurate.

Look, we all know she has an uncanny gift, but truth be told, it was a hell of a lot weirder than that. And so chaotic.

First, you have to remember that these researchers were coming back as Simulacra. We lost the opportunity to prevent that during #Abaddon . Each of them came into being standing not three feet from a chamber containing their own body.

I've experienced this.

I can tell you it's disorienting as hell.

And there were no eloquent speeches. Not from me, and not from Calvin. I tried my best to explain the rules of being a simulacra to them. 1331 days and all that. How they had, to quote a better writer than I'll ever be, come unstuck in time. How three years had passed them by and they would have no memory of it. 

Calvin tried to backtrack himself out of the situation, but they didn't even know it was his fault, and I couldn't fully persuade them it was.

It all just went over their heads, I think. They were confused and disoriented and scared. 

And different. 

I didn't want to believe that they had been shaped by their time in the Portal Network, during   #Shonin and #Persepolis and #Abaddon , but they had been. From the way they reacted to the truth about what Niantic had become, to the way they stood in groups, to they way some of them acted towards Jahan, it was clear these were different versions of the same people I had known.

For all intents and purposes, Jahan is focal point of the Resistance now -- she's the leader of Anti-Magnus -- and the way +Misty Hannah, +Devra Bogdanovich+Stein Lightman and the rest were drawn to here, even without knowing who she even was... it was uncanny. 

I'm told the Acolyte's people reached out to Calvin, +Oliver Lynton-Wolfe and +Yuri Alaric Nagassa just hours after they emerged from the nest. I don't know what transpired between them, but if I had to guess, they were probably subconsciously drawn to her too. After Jarvis died, she became what he was -- she now stands at the center of the Enlightened movement -- they must have sensed that.

As for +A Detection Algorithm and +Roland Jarvis, I don't know what's become of them. I heard that ADA lost her connection to the N'zeer. For her, that must have been traumatic, like losing all of your senses in an instance. As for Jarvis, it wouldn't surprise me if he had become trapped in some trans-dimensional cage. I heard some reports that the Acolyte collapsed just moments after the #Abaddon Anomaly in Milan came to an end -- like she had lost an inner source of strength.

Wouldn't surprise me, but again, that's just what I heard...

    Well, looks like we're stuck with Jahan until further notice.
    The tides favor the Resistance right now, but only by a small margin. Things are very near a balance, actually, which may prove to lead to interesting discoveries.
    But then, what was said about these individuals... I wonder how much of a person is really retained when they're influenced by XM. For simulacra it's pretty obvious that it's disorienting, and their recursion only makes it worse, but besides supporting the Enlightened or Resistance, how much really changes about them?

    Hank you are an (self proclaimed) ENL propaganda mouthpiece and have been for some time now. And quite frankly, I dont trust you and I advise that people do the same.

    As for the Acolyte: might be an step up compared to Jarvis, but behind that beautiful face lies the same delusional, religious zealot under which humanity has suffered under enough already. Another scourge of mankind looking to prey on the weak and ignorant.
    Also quite sure she would not pass any mandatory drug test.

    All hail the N´zeer and ADA. #IstandwithADA   #Sciencebitch

    +Roland Jarvis​​ being severed from the Ultimate in the same way as +A Detection Algorithm​​ being cut off from the N'zeer may explain the Acolyte's collapse as this may have been the connection they spoken about previously.

    The fact that the researchers do appear to have been influenced in their outlook by the last few anomaly series is very interesting as to how much their opinions have changed or can be influenced moving forwards. It sounds like their baseline preference had been altered in some way towards either Jahan or the Acolyte but perhaps they can still be drawn to either point of view.

    All is not lost, it's time to move agents!

    ADA is believed to have Truthseeker at her core, or at least heavily influencing her. The origins of Truthseeker are a bit mysterious as a mere human is on record of writing it in machine code in one go, it might actually be a personality fragment from an XM ghost, a moment of uncanny genius, or something else that was obscured with a planted legend of false information.

    The thing that makes me believe ADA is a pure machine based mind is one simple thing. She's capable of porting herself to other systems. She's demonstrated she can run on servers, on smart phones, on human brains, and alien substrates governed by unknown physics so far. Human brains are Turing systems because we can do Turing calculations, however human brains are massive massive parallel computers, and the software that gives us our personality and intelligence evolved for billions of years from simple to complex, mind and brain optimizing each other, flowing into the quirks of each other. It would be incredibly difficult to "port" a human mind to server hardware, the system is just too different, too limited.

    In software there's two concepts that shed some light on this. Algorithm and program. An algorithm is the plan for the program. It's a blueprint written in either pseudo-code or actual code for the program to do whatever it's meant to do. The program is the actual code implementing the algorithm.

    ADA does okay on standard computers. I suspect ADA is machine in origin, and knows her own algorithms extremely well, as long as she knows the instructions, she can rewrite her base programs in any system able to perform Turing operations, including human minds. She's demonstrated this ability across 3 diverse systems (N'zeer Substrate, human, and standard computers).

    Human minds on the other are not designed, there is no documented algorithm that nature uses to program brains. There's a lot of ideas, but it's messy and very hardware dependent/optimized. Anything human based would hold her back from such quick deployment, like trying to figure out to store a fractal without knowing the equation that made it, further humans have a documented weakness against Shaper glyphs, that ADA has not demonstrated.


    But here's a question that bugs me about +A Detection Algorithm . Where is she? She seems to be existing and communicating without either human computers or the N'zeer substrate.


    But here's a thought, Jarvis's Simulacrum is a Turing system (capable of Turing instructions as people are, otherwise we couldn't design Turing systems like computers), and they're both in a place close enough to sense each other....

    We'll need to let go of some of our assumptions about the Niantic sensitives. They have not experienced the significant events that formed them over the past 3 years. Devra didn't watch Farlowe killed in the grotto. Oliver hasn't bounced between patrons seeking resources or protection. Schubert hasn't decided XM is legitimate science. We don't know how they'll react to similar events now nor to stories of what happened before. I believe the shaping will have subtle effects on their predispositions but the specifics will be unpredictable.

Agents informed me that a communication surfaced between one I suspect is Jarvis and the Acolyte involving a man known as Obsidius. 

I came upon that name when I was researching 13MAGNUS for Calvin way back when. He was mentioned in very obscure sources under the name Obsidius or Obsius (it's unclear why the name was 'fixed' in later editions). Other than Pliny the Elder's famous mention of him, little is known.  I have to find my notes... I think they might be in one of the boxes in my storage facility in Tysons Corner. Hopefully I haven't lost them.

The long and short of what I remember is that he was a Roman explorer and those were rare creatures indeed.  It doesn't seem that the Romans took much stock in exploring for its own sake (perhaps because they were terrible sailors). Their usual tendency was to rely on local knowledge and intermediaries and rarely search farther than was necessary for military intelligence. My guess is that Obsidius probably started his career as an one of the Exploratores.

    Pyrrhus is the source of the term "Pyrrhic victory". A victory so costly it ruins you. Pyrrhus experienced a pyrrhic victory from the same campaign Obsidius attempted to kill him.

    It seem very probable that the statues were indeed replicas of the original to try and replicate the power, but i'm unsure that the power would be simulacrum or just like the other objects, safe passage to place where this could be possible.
    This story appear on google when searching for Obsius, but there is not trace of it when searching for Obsidius. I wonder if that is part of the reason for posterior edit on the name.

Am taking a circuitous route to Oakland to shake some tails. I’m trying to meet up with Wright, but it’s difficult when two elusive beings try to synchronize.  Particularly interested in a comment he made on a post in Operation Essex, stating that he and a prominent investigator were thinking along the same lines: https://goo.gl/FYthKg.  

The full magnitude of Calvin’s planning for the Niantic project is becoming clear to all of us. I am also developing a theory as to why Jarvis manifested at Cupid’s Span in the same period.  

Ingress Agents should make a pilgrimage to the original Niantic Plaque and Cupid’s Span while they are in the Bay Area. The past defines the present, and these places are historic to anyone who is aware of the power of XM.
 
If something happens to me, I want you to ponder one question: Is it an accident that a pyramid was built over the grave of the Niantic?

It's common knowledge now that I was/am involved in an operation with Jahan in South America. (obfuscating for security reasons)

I'm not going to say much about it -- there's obvious opportunity for blowback. The opposition tied to this particular op is/was of an extremely unsavory strain. I don't mind getting my hands dirty, but... this is not something I enjoy.

As for the intel leak from a few days ago. Trust me, the corporate types are the least of my worries right now.

In the coming week, I'm going to be making my way north. Headed to the Bay Area. Oakland.

Some investigators have been probing the connections between #Abaddon and Josiah Harlan’s ill-fated journey from Afghanistan to San Francisco - the final resting place of the original Niantic ship after leaving Payta in Peru.

It's possible (maybe even likely) that the Niantic was carrying a Prime Artifact, and Harlan was chasing after it. 

There are, in fact, theories that the Niantic may have been carrying a fragment of 'The Original' XM Artifact, with a history that goes back to the stone age.

Anyway. It's all smoke and mirrors until I've got proof in hand. Can’t say more right now.

If you're going to be in Oakland during the #Abaddon Anomaly, come see me.

If you didn't know, Yuri's dad was a (he would never admit it in these words) spy for the USSR. He operated an 'observatory' high in the Andes that just happened to be performing 'critical astronomical research' in the Americas during the cold war.

An isolated existence. I don't know what happened to Yuri's mother, he never much talked about her, and what time he did spend with his dad was focused more on working with the equipment in the observatory and helping out with the 'research.'

+Yuri Alaric Nagassa and I go way back. Before Niantic was officially even a thing, he and I shared a frequency.

Power Spots.

He understood immediately. Both within himself, as a sensitive who had felt their presence, and as someone privileged enough to have learned a way to experience the world without the crutch of technology (I'm being harsh, I love technology, but I recognize that it dulls certain senses).

The first time I met Yuri, there was an immediate sense of clarity. 

He was witty, intimidatingly intelligent, and his background in the world of the spooky (both kinds) yielded us some pretty strong common ground.

He laid on some corny jokes in a thick Russian accent, I laughed politely, then we started talking about one of my ideas. Something I was looking for that he could help me find. He leaned in. The accent vanished. It was all a front. He could don that personality, the bumbling son of a Russian spy, and drop it in a millisecond to become the brilliant stargazer, or the mystic native more in tune with the incessant hum of the forest than the rapid-fire world of modern science.

I felt him again, today. Like a lens tuning. For a second, there was that same, sharp clarity that I had felt the first time I met him.

It was a powerful sensation.

And I know the question that many of you want me to answer. Did I feel a connection break with +Misty Hannah just as I felt one form with Yuri? It's an unfair question. I don't have the same history with Misty that I do with Nagassa. 

Perhaps another felt her presence. I'll leave it to them to share that experience.

    So it is true about the different kinds of XM sensitives. But what about the so called dark XM? How do these sensitives react to this?

    Thanks for the information +Hank Johnson​, it seem unfair that we hold the destiny on the niantic investigators on our hands, but it's good to hear that +Yuri Alaric Nagassa​was alright at least.
    From the remaining people, it seem that it was probably +Klue S.​ the one that was closest to +Misty Hannah​ but that bond was also very tenuous, so I don't know who could have felt her

    +Yik Sheng Lee​ Very insightful analysis as always. I think it is highly probable that Yuri's father was involved in parallel research on the Soviet side. It is an intriguing possibility at the very least.

    I wonder whether any single xm sensitive, other than perhaps +Roland Jarvis​, is likely to be fully committed to one side. I wonder if the margin of victory is relevant: in other words, does the fact that certain +Misty Hannah​ shards were captured by the Enlightened, mean that a certain ambivalence or cognitive dissonance can be expected?

    We don't know exactly what it means to be the subject of an anomaly. In Hank's case (according to +Thomas Greanias​' account) the effect of the Cahokia Mounds anomaly seemed to produce optimism and hope while reinforcing the ideals that had driven his lifelong search for ancient power spots.

    A little later Misty acknowledged that both teams' XM output were necessary to hyperthreading from Switzerland but she said she might owe the side that did more to help a favor.

    Carrie was in a trance state contemplating glyphs when her event occurred. After that she responded with fear (and dare I say madness?) to her field of study and the hypothetical entities who established it.

    Klue had two anomalies before the ADA-K event. Both involved a message from an unknown origin (said to be the shaper collective) broadcast via green XM. When R controlled the day in Scotland the message was garbled and disturbing. She reacted with revulsion at anyone who might have sent such a thing. When E allowed a clear signal in Portland she changed her mind. A later effort was able to descramble and share the original Wallace Monument signal: https://youtu.be/5DiH72kfNro

    Ben Jackland seemed to see a similar transmission, one intended for +Susanna Moyer​. I wonder if she ever learned what she was meant to know?

    The most dramatic change was Devra's event, in which two parallel realities were briefly manifest allowing us to see what might have happened had E been dominant and what R did. https://youtu.be/_MXsL7ARh2A

    There doesn't seem to be a consistent process. Each anomaly, like the sensitives themselves, is unique. We cannot yet say what has happened here nor what will happen with the remaining 8.

I was looking back over some old G+ posts I made -- back from when I was trying to track down the researchers who disappeared during #Shonin. Turns out I never shared the story of what happened when I went looking for Niantic's resident musical genius.

It wasn’t hard to find +enoch dalby, but it was impossible to talk to him. When I found him, he was in a marathon session at a venerated studio (can’t disclose location) that seemed to be emitting extremely high levels of XM.  (At the time, I was still getting used to my new post-simulacrum state... I think I was more sensitive to Portals than I used to be, and the high dose exposure at the studio was making me lose focus and start thinking about the future). 

Anyway, as I stood in the engineer booth, it felt more like I was at a space launch or watching a surgery than a recording.  enoch was in a room across from me, practically possessed (which, to be fair, was how he often seemed when playing). He appeared to be almost glowing, but I wasn't sure if that was just the XM interfering with my perception. I also realized that the XM around me was reacting to the music, was it being channeled? Maybe...

I kept looking for someone to talk to. I didn't want to disturb enoch, he looked like he was in the 7th layer of a deep trance, rocking his body to the music, his fingers dancing between keyboards and a myriad of other electronic equipment. At one point, I saw him using what I took to be an experimental synthesizer that he conducted with a light wand, tracing what I knew to be Glyph patterns. I would say it was weird except it wasn't really weirder than everything else about the place.

All of a sudden, I felt Carrie standing beside me. I turned to look, and of course there was no-one there, but I swear I felt her, and I kept feeling her as I stared at the empty space. Was the music pulling her in? Man, the XM in this place were really getting to my head.

Just then, a producer walked into room. I shook off the strangeness and said I was there to see enoch. He gave me a flat look and simply said 'dalby's not here.' I stared back at the man, slack-jawed. enoch was clearly in the room right across from both of us, bobbing his head to the tune. I pointed and shook my head, raising my eyebrows. The laconic producer simply shrugged and led me out of the booth through a hallway plastered in faded and peeling concert tour art.

He opened a door and I stepped into the room where 'enoch' was playing and gently tapped him on the shoulder. Well, I tried to. Nothing. A hologram. 

'Performance art piece. Music's from an algorithm he was working on. And then the hologram and projection stuff,' the producer said. Then he looked me over again. 'If you find him tell him to call me. And tell him daitomatiks sent this for him. Said he was grateful for the advice.' He handed me a USB key and then he left.

As I was leaving, he, enoch the hologram, looked at me and began playing something like an elegy -- or at least that’s how I took it.  It was fitting given the morbid nature of what lay ahead.

I can't find that USB key now. I'll see if I can track it down in the stacks of old things and share its contents here, since I doubt I'll be seeing enoch anytime soon.

    Interesting. The site was likely a portal exhibiting strong entanglement with Dalby. The recording with glyphs seemed to activate the portal like some kind of beacon. If he had some premonition of what was to come might Enoch have managed to anchor himself (and draw Carrie) back home? You could have been closer to finding him than you know.

A friend sent this my way earlier today, and I felt I should share it out with all of you.

It's one of those things that lies at the fringe. 

What you and I know is that there is so much left to discover about the world, and in most myth lies a kernel of truth.

I saw this, and the word 'lens' immediately popped into my mind (an epiphany? Maybe. Of course, there's no way to be certain...)

Why the word 'lens?'

It occurs to me that a Portal is a kind of lens. It focuses and enhances the well-being, creativity and mental state of those near it, and it perhaps serves to lens the extra-dimensional wormholes emerging into our world as well.

A site like this would have been the result of ancient Sensitives beginning to feel the power of the Portals and slowly learning how to enhance them. Just like a lens, when it is coarse, it can only focus so much light: It takes a massive amount of grinding and polishing to maximize its potential. (It's possible that, over time, we've learned how to focus our creativity to create more powerful Portals.)

Perhaps the ancients were just beginning to sense that they could focus the potential contained within the Portals near them... or perhaps they sensed that they could slowly begin to create the enhancing experience of a Portal by 'lensing' their environment?

Could that explain sites like this? What do you think?

    It begs the question are the dimensions of portals depicted on the scanner represented to scale? If not, what's the ratio? Is sensing a stronger xm presence in any way correlated to the size of the portal as well as the life experiences contained?

    Consider this. Ancient civilizations were less individualistic, and perhaps what we see as a portal now is reflective of the efforts of a small portion of a civilisation, whereas something like this is the entire productive surplus of a tribe of humanity bent toward one end.

    Gotta say, +Hank Johnson​, I disagree with that. I have seen the effects of severe XM exposure turn agents into either monsters, or emotional wrecks (myself included). "Pathogenic", as +Bill Robitske​ put it. Maybe a Sensitive can be too sensitive to it? Maybe there is some kind of limit? It is something worth thinking about.

    Like I said, I have seen agents turn into monsters once they are exposed to the portals and XM. Is it worth the risk of creating even more powerful ones by concentrating it through a lens? Perhaps this is why it has not been successful, and we are not in a place that these experiments worked?

    Just thoughts? If they make sense.

I received an urgent communication from Azmati’s uncle. The cryptic message revealed that some of the Prime Transdimensional Objects in his possession have been reacting oddly, as if triggered by something, maybe some kind of disturbance within the Portal Network.

If you recall, these Objects are powerful and rare Artifacts that can interact with Exotic Matter, like the Shōnin Stone. They are the true, original Transdimensional Artifacts that people across time have attempted to recreate and, failing to do so, created patterns and symbols to represent them... models to represent the power that we no longer possess. But the original Artifacts still exist. There are very few of then, and they are guarded fanatically.

Azmati’s family has been protecting some of them for 13MAGNUS for many generations. Others were in the possession of Jahan and her people. 

The message from Azmati's uncle seems to be one of foreboding. He said he could not be specific, but that he believes it to be a foreshock for what could happen very soon, perhaps at Persepolis. Or, maybe it is something that has already happened there. 

As you know, I did not go to Persepolis based on Devra’s advice.  Will have to wait and see what happens, then react.

So much for tradecraft.

I've been trying to keep my head low, and thought I was making a successful job of it, when I get a knock at the door earlier today.

No one's there, but they left the little brown envelope in plain sight for me to find. A courtesy to spare me the embarrassment, I suspect.

The envelope was empty, but two numbers on the outside decoded to a timestamp and a latlong. Small private airstrip about a half day travel from my current location.

No name, but I guess the logo on the envelope says it all.

Undisclosed location. Can’t say what I’m doing right now, for obvious reasons. Still processing what I saw during the Nomad shoot. It affected me deeply, obviously. Turned me back from my planned journey to #Persepolis.

After what happened on June 20th, I expect we'll be hearing from Jahan soon. Wish I could have been there. Maybe I could have done something. Maybe not. Maybe +Devra Bogdanovich was right, and if I had gone, I'd be dead now. It's just hard to know what to think. Who to trust.

All I know is, I couldn't prevent Jahan from reaching the Nest. Now, she'll try to activate it, and this time she'll succeed, without Azmati or me there to stop her. Who knows what that will lead to.

Saw a couple of the +Tycho C. panels. In my opinion, they definitely represent the events at the Peshawar Anomaly in 2010 where I was shot by operatives I now believe to be members of Anti-Magnus. And if that’s true, I have to look at Calvin’s actions in a whole new light.

I’m in a remote place and ask you to report any new information you have on Tycho and the recent events surrounding him.  I am quite sure there are many revelations coming.  Depending on where I am when it emerges, it might be hard to get a hold of it. Somebody reserve a copy for me.

    +Hank Johnson​, now is not the time to fear what ifs. Persepolis merely concluded how it needed to. If the monsters were simply sealed away, they will be fed at some point - this is the way in so many legends. Regardless of Calvin's motives, we do have two great armies well versed in the use of XM offensively and defensively. Regardless of faction ties, your generals now stand ready. Jahan will free the N'zeer, so that we may slay the dragon together and for certain.

Quick update, Nomad Fans...

The team is all set, we found a great location and scouted it today. The shoot is going to happen tomorrow if everything goes as planned. Looking forward to getting this in the can so I can move on to my next challenge... For better or worse, my journey to #Persepolis awaits... I've waited long enough, and it's time to move.

Been enthralled by my continued research into Thaïs. The more I dig, the more I realize there's a dense network of secrets hidden within the stories of the past and beneath or near the ancient sites themselves.

People like Azmati were at the tip of a spear that's been traveling through time, with incredible purpose, for thousands of years. And yes, Jahan too. Their lineages have been aligned to causes and goals that we're only becoming dimly aware of now.

I suspect much of this has to do with a struggle for the control of what have been called 'Prime Transdimensional Objects'... original Artifacts capable of true interaction with Exotic Matter... Like the Shōnin Stone. The incomprehensible sophistication of the technology can't be replicated, but the form can. 

They become purely ornamental as the original is lost, forgotten or destroyed: Future generations recreate objects in their likeness, and over time they forget the true power of the original artifact, but they remember that the form is somehow meaningful.

    It seems that one of the cities Hank found when following the map was San Saba mine.  If Persepolis is another that leaves 5 open positions in the list.  Someone once implied that there were people living deep beneath Cahokia Mounds, and we know there was XM tech at Meroe.  We've seen a CM mine in Australia, a significant portal at CERN, and a nest in the Peshawar anomaly zone.  That may not be the seven, but certainly is a group of 7 significant sites.

Something Wright implied, knowingly or unknowingly, on the BTS broadcast has been ringing through my head since last Thursday. 

Everything from Calvin’s hiring me to do a report on 13MAGNUS when I was still a student (https://goo.gl/dtGqJW) all the way to the present seems, in hindsight, to have been choreographed like a grand plan with the unwitting, albeit, manipulated cooperation of some of its prime participants.  

It is unclear whether the master plan came from Jahan, Calvin or the somewhere beyond that, but it's clear that even I, through the Recursion, the Alignment operation (https://goo.gl/5LDW6Z), the breadcrumbs, even my relationship with Jahan during Shōnin, have aided a force that we do not understand. For lack of a better word, the opposition.

How do I know that confronting her at Persepolis isn’t just more unwitting cooperation with their plan?

    All you can do is examine the facts and act as you think is best. Hopefully you'll see some angles the puppet masters didn't predict. Are you thinking they intended for Azmati to collapse the Peshawar sanctum and fail to open that gate? That they intended to sacrifice you at Persepolis all along? If that's tge case then I'd recommend against giving them the upper hand at the next encounter. There are a few teams in the field who would probably be more effective together than as independent operators to start with. The megacorps don't have an exclusive on that number.

    I said this a long time ago, and its coming back...

    The "Shapers" are a myth concocted by Calvin to control the masses. Join us against the big scary thing under the bed, ignore the man behind the curtain .  

    Its clear now that Calvin has close ties to the Anti-Magnus organisation, and the 13Magnus organisation monitors and attempts to prevent mind-hacking and its ilk.  So it stands to reason that the Anti-Magnus organisation, long associated with +A Detection Algorithm and the N'zeer stands for those practices.  Given than Calvin was the instigator of the program that created +A Detection Algorithm you have to wonder if he's pulling her strings too.

    This throws the whole Resistance foundation on its head, as their claims to be "resisting the Shapers" are really based on unknowingly supporting an organisation that supports mind-control as well as suppression and subjugation of the masses, whereas the Enlightened support freedom and growth, evolution and enlightenment.  

    +Ingress recently trotted out the old mantra of the Resistance trying to 'save humanity from enslavement', when the truth is The Resistance is the path to that slavery.

+Roland Jarvis was shot by J. Phillips and +Hubert Farlowe. The actual bullet was, I think from Phillips’ gun. He was acting under orders from a mysterious source that most believe was +A Detection Algorithm acting on her prime protocol (‘Maintaining the security of the +Niantic Project and containing the possible threat of Exotic Matter'). 

Jarvis' corpse resisted post-mortem examination and reportedly ‘self-healed.’ That term is a bit deceptive. Changes made to his body during the course of the post-mortem simply... became undone. (See my bit about theories at the end of this post).

His body was transported in a vehicle believed to be known now as +November Lima 1331 to the CDC. From there, my understanding is that the corpse was spirited away to an unknown destination. 

There are conflicting theories as to whether the Roland Jarvis who appeared at 13MAGNUS was Jarvis reunited with his former body or... a simulacrum.

My suspicion is that his corpse is still extant at an unknown location (The Compound? Seems likely..).  It is also known that 1331 (either because of the prolonged exposure to Jarvis' body or due to advanced XM technology in the van) has unknown and mysterious capabilities. If I had to guess, it's probably both. The NIA would have been quick to find a way to exploit the strange properties Jarvis' body imparted on the vehicle.

To be fair, things started to get weird with Jarvis even before his death in Zurich. His voice began to appear in the +Ingress Scanner without him being aware of it.

I have my own theories as to why this is, but I'll keep them to myself. I'm neither well versed nor articulate enough to get them across clearly. Suffice it to say, time and reality are messy concepts in the quantum world.

    +Roland Jarvis's body was taken from the CDC by domestic extremists.

    If the Roland Jarvis who appeared at Cupid's Span was a simulacra (Unlikely -- a lot of work went into that ritual), that would mean he is not dead; a new simulacra would have recursed and appeared at the site of his body.

    My own thoughts is that Roland Jarvis is not dead -- but he has been sickened and weakened by Devra's virus (now perhaps more adequately understood as the N'ZEER virus -- look at its purpose!), and he has been locked away from us for some reason. 

    That Roland Jarvis was "unstuck in time" by his intense XM exposure is to me not in doubt. Read his childhood account of the experimental fighter crash; or witness the fact that he was speaking to us from the scanner with foreknowledge of the future while he still lived as a physical man.

The Disposition of +Carrie Campbell's corpse was even more mysterious.

P. A. Chapeau was the last person known to me who saw it.  A graphic image created by +Tycho C. is the only known image of her corpse in a morgue in Chicago.

I checked the records. Carrie’s death is listed as suicide by unknown cause and technically remains a cold case with the CPD. I inquired where she had been buried or cremated. Somehow, 'the bureaucracy' had managed to 'misplace' that information. Big surprise.

There is no active investigation despite the unusual circumstances of her death and the events leading up to it.  I’m not blaming the police. Not every mystery is solve-able and those within the Niantic Investigation are probably better equipped to understand the true nature of this case than a conventional police force anyway.  

It should be noted that her death happened at approximately the same time as the incident that led to Klue and ADA become a unified mind. It was when we were just beginning to learn about Glyphs and their power. There was both opportunity and fear in the air.

The events during the Teeth of the Hydra era of the investigation are seeming very relevant to both my investigation today and to other recent events (particularly Loeb’s attempt to separate Klue and ADA’s minds.)

    I haven't ruled out madness. She had placed herself in a receptive trance state before being buffeted by massive R resonance at the anomaly. It may simply have broken her. If there was a rational function, though, I think it would have been to deliver some message to whoever had the means to scan stored portal images. At the time we lumped those all together as "shapers."

When I heard the rumor that Nigel Moyer was on his deathbed, I contacted +Susanna Moyer.  She informed me that he’d been on his deathbed many times before. It was like ringing the bell for the help. I told her I’d check up on him. She laughed. I wasn’t sure why, but I figured I’d find out. Buenos Aires is a long way from where she is. Not too far from me, and I still had access to the jet.  

I suspected a trap, but didn’t get one. It doesn’t seem like anybody wants me dead right now. Unlikely to last, but I’ll enjoy it while it does.

Nigel was living in a century-old mansion with a full staff. I wondered where he got the money for this until +A Detection Algorithm's voice greeted me at the gate. When I was led to his office, he neither looked surprised to see me nor very near death. As he bossed a housekeeper around, correcting the imperfections in her tea service, she locked eyes with me and raised her eyebrows, exasperated. Susanna had been right after all. 

He wanted to talk about Jahan. In fact he wanted me to arrange an introduction. I pondered the request. No part of me believed that they had not been in contact.

I think he sensed me wondering whether he was a member of an Anti-Magnus group. He told me that when I got to Persepolis, I might have an opportunity to re-evaluate my ideas about the future of this species and its relationship to technology. I told him I would keep an open mind. He smiled. "Good," he said. "An open mind is the most powerful tool in the universe."

He rambled on for a while about Die Glocke… Echelon.. Dreizehn Große… (the German 13MAGNUS program)...  Before dozing off, he handed me an envelope and asked me to get it to Susanna. He made me promise not to look at it with some specific instructions on the manner of delivery.  I told him that I wasn’t sure I would be able to accomplish this.  He said, “You have done greater things, Viator...”  He then nodded off.  A nurse entered. It was time for me to leave.

    I am so sorry for being so quiet, Hank, recovery has been slow on my end since returning and getting things re-set while you dig into your new travels, as per the questions of Anti Magnus and your suspicious, I'd say you are better off asking better questions, like, why do you have memories of times before you? Why was Osiris a Black God, Hank? And why the hell should you bother about crumbs that can be eaten up by birds when you could be in the Ginger Bread House with the Witch?   


    The dragon veins are surging, my friend. I'll give you a tip to what to eye next, look for "He who has ten thousand Horses", the Serpant King, son of Ahri-Man, Azi Dahaka, ذهاک .   

    Stop trying to make sense of two sides of the same coin when the beast that feeds on a thousand minds to satiate the hunger is far from stirring and now awake and unchained. We are past the point of stopping this force, all that is left is choosing the knowledge to shape our fate or to stand unblinking and "Watch" while we do nothing.

    +JoJo Stratton That's an interesting way to put it, I would say that one would be based on intuitively driven to act/react and immersed in the temporal (Shaper), while the other (Nzeer) is in a passive state overlooking a total sum and if depends on protocol functions and absolutes.

I try to distill them as much as possible to the basic elements, and my guess has Shapers focusing on the minutia, timing and life conditions that make a "butterfly flap" and the Nzeer the research committee publishing "conditions that may lead to a tsunami as a result of flap, and other relevant data."   --- If that made any sense.

    What if the dicotomy isn't creativity vs. technology or temporal vs. atemporal?  Taking a page from the idea that we humans, as a whole, are the "Shapers", then perhaps the dicotomy is actually advancement through discovery vs. advancement through control - ingression vs. egression.

    The problem is, seeing the actions of elements thought to be N'zeer agents, such as Calvin, +A Detection Algorithm, and now perhaps Nigel Moyer, do the N'zeer actually represent this drive for "control" - the very antithesis of the Resistance?

    Well, Control requires a subject, conditions and a "blind", while discovery requires an act of experience, and postulations of surroundings, day do make up an overall method.   As per your question of ADA, the N'Zeer and most "victories" won by the  "Resistance", well, I have been saying that the RES faction should submit a formal name change for a while, a suggested one is "The Empire". ;)

There is some debate as to whether Harry Houdini ever lived in the mansion that holds his name in the Laurel Canyon section of Los Angeles. Some say he lived briefly across the street. But there can be no debate that a magical mist (or is it magic?) seems to drift down Laurel Canyon to Sunset, west to the strip and east up Hollywood and Franklin to the Magic Castle.  And there is no doubt that extremely enriched XM and perhaps even Chaotic Matter clusters in that area. Some kind of exchange, perhaps. I’m not sure how it works, but I feel it more now. That’s one thing about being like this again, more human. It is counter-intuitive, but I ‘feel’ these things more than I did before this change.  

To my surprise, the attendants there were expecting me, and I was led to the seance room when I got there. I expected to find +Misty Hannah. I had theorized that somehow, given how powerful of a sensitive she is, she may have been immune to this almost cataclysmic XM-event that has caused so many others to disappear.  

It wasn’t her that I found. It was the famous, or infamous, depending on what you believe, Dr. +Edgar Allan Wright. I first met him several years ago with +Devra Bogdanovich. I never understood their relationship. I still don’t. It isn’t any of my business. He is eerily unchanged. 

He said he knew I would be coming. He was cordial, but seemed distracted. Hunted. Haunted. Not surprising for a man who spent so much time in the ‘spookier’ areas of precognitive science. Pardon the pun. We talked for a while, on condition that I not reveal the content or nature of our discussions. He filled in some blanks. I will honor his request not to relate them, but the essential information will emerge over time.  

He said that a seance is a perfect metaphor for what is about to begin happening in the world, if his theories are right.

At a that point, things started happening in the room. Strange sounds. Shaking. Spectral images. Moaning. I even heard what sounded like Misty’s voice muttering indistinguishable words. The lights flickered and went out. When they came back on again, he was gone. I’d never been in the Seance room before. I don’t know if that is what one expects in that room of the Magic Castle, or if this was something else.

Is he a human that might have vanished due to the seance? Is he an apparition? Did he manifest to meet +Hank Johnson​ only to disappear once the seance/conversation was over?

    Maybe the seance was only so Dr. Wright could appear long enough to speak to Hank face to face?

Airborne again. Headed back stateside.

Every now and again I stop and look at my hands. I don’t feel different. I don’t look different. And yet, the look in the Anazktec eyes as I was leaving...

They saw me differently.

For so long, only Yuri held their secret. Perhaps they wished it had stayed that way.

I hope that's all it is.

This will be a long ride. Close to 8 hours.

I’m tired, but my mind is too awake to get much rest.

When I get back, there are others I need to meet. Other researchers, both from within the +Niantic Project and without.

What’s clear is that new revelations and old secrets are emerging. The only real weapon I’m going to have when I face Jahan and whatever N’zeer technology she is trying to activate is knowledge. Information.

There’s a person who knows a lot about the history of this conflict... someone who has been deeply involved in the study and use of XM over the last few decades.

I hope he has some answers.

Returned.

Was it a dream? I cannot remember what was real and what was not.

There were etched histories on the walls...  They matched histories of the Anazktec.  Did not see bodies, but I believe the Anazktec to be simulacra.  I look around, and I only see 13 of them. Five Men. Five Women. Three Children. Was it always like this? Why did I never notice before? They might be a Magnus. Recursed for millennia. Using their bodies to hold memories along with the walls... I do not know the nature of the site.

The Anazktec learned much about me. They seem to fear me. It is getting dangerous.

Must get to LZ before things go bad.

Transit is a good time to reflect and recollect oneself. Somehow, being higher than the clouds affords a certain clarity.

Before I head to Persepolis, I need to find out just how far the 13MAGNUS event reached. I'm not willing to trust a leaked NIA or Hulong document when it comes to this. I need first hand evidence.

Who survived the Shōnin ritual. Who didn't.

My punch-list:

+Devra Bogdanovich. Her current status is known by all.
+Oliver Lynton-Wolfe. Confirmed missing. (Research materials compromised)
+Martin Schubert. Confirmed missing. (Research materials compromised)

    You are missing three names from your list, +Hank Johnson; both present at Epiphany Night. 

    One is Dr. Victor Kureze, dead after tampering with glyphs he did not understand. Another is Dr. Carrie Campbell; dead by her own hand as she thought to stop the so-called civilization kill switch. The other, and last is, of course, +Roland Jarvis. All are asserted to be dead; but as the head of 13Magnus and a man who has returned from the grave, you of all should people should know that pointing to a final end is difficult for people and entities whose connection to XM allows them to transcend time and space.

    +Hank Johnson, I'd like to add +Klue S., 885 and Antoine Smith to the list of names already proposed by +Ana Prados and +Yik Sheng Lee.
    Also, the whereabouts of +Hubert Farlowe might be interesting. We saw on the video from the Shonin Stone incident that he was still there after Devra vanished - but where did he go to?

    Yik, I think HRL might not have been affected because he is not a Sensitive nor a CM construct.

The next few days are going to be courtesy of Montgomery. If this is anything like last time, I expect I’ll be riding in transport planes and maybe a supersonic jet, dropping in parachutes and I’ll probably end up spending at least one gruelingly long day in an inflatable river craft.  My journey is going to take me to one of the most obscure corners of the world.  The land of the Anazktec. 

Expect some radio silence, but I’ll be back online soon.

Decades ago at Arecibo when I met +Devra Bogdanovich I also met +Paul School. He was Devra’s mentor/supervisor/something and didn’t take kindly to my appearance on the scene. Might even have been responsible for some of the less fondly remembered parts of that visit. But that was decades ago...

He’s older now. No less enthusiastic about contact with other intelligences than he was then. He was very curious about Niantic and felt a little bit shut out, but he said he had been in communication with Devra during the +Niantic Project period. And he suspected that Devra had been attempting to contact him very recently. 

It makes sense, if Devra's in the portals as Jarvis was after his ‘Resurrection’, he would be a likely person for her to contact if for no reason other than he would likely be listening. Tuned in. Waiting for dialtone, as always.

He played me some disrupted recordings of what certainly sounded like Devra. I heard the words 'becoming manifest,' but most of it I couldn't make out.

The manager of the hotel in Rome was more interested in who was going to settle +Martin Schubert's bill than he was in the whereabouts of his delinquent guest. Fortunately, I had some walking around money from Ilya (+Visur Technology has expressed interested in funding the development of future NOMAD episodes), so I paid the bill in exchange for the key. 

The room still reeked of cigars and cerebral intrigue. It was a still life. Several sheets of paper scrawled and doodled upon that reminded me of an artless take on +Carrie Campbell's Voynich-like pages. A computer open to a dead Hangout with +Stein Lightman and +Yuri Alaric Nagassa, both also absent. A couple of old books in German, what I would guess was a Slavic language and a middle eastern script I couldn’t identify.

From what I could decipher of his extremely cryptic scribblings, he was answering some academic question Nagassa had put to him and Lightman was probably helping with the translation and contextualization.  Of course, I didn’t have much time to read thanks to the hunger with which various corporations and intel agencies are trying to obtain these troves of knowledge.  

A disembodied voice interrupted me. It was coming from a device hidden underneath the desk. 2 way radio. Whoever was using it couldn’t have been that far. I was told, calmly, that I was going to assist them by interpreting some of Schubert’s paper lying on the desk. If I chose not to help, there would be consequences. I’m not sure who this person was... +Hulong Transglobal? NIA? Lorazon and +IQTech Research?  Or some other entity...  

I told the disembodied voice what I knew.  It said it had analyzed me for voice stress and told me to leave the paper in place and leave, probably in case someone more informed than me decided to pay a visit in the future. I left the electronic ‘catch and release’ trap unharmed. There wasn’t much margin for them in killing me, and, well… as for me, I have my own problems to deal with. Besides, it would’ve messed up the ‘in situ’ of Schubert’s room.

A number of important things to look into while I'm still in Germany. Oliver, first and foremost. I'm hoping I can find something in Wünsdorf that might explain what happened. If not, he may have learned something about the N'zeer that may be valuable. To be honest, I don't really know what I'm looking for, but I'll know when I find it.

Met a contact just as I was leaving Hanover. Wanted to talk to someone about Planck, and she's one of the best resources I know when it comes to that world. There was a nexus around him. Was it a Magnus? I don’t know. He was a brilliant mind and helped start us on a scientific journey that ultimately led to the modern rediscovery of XM. There are some issues involving Die Glocke and Nigel Moyer’s post-war work that have left me wondering. Was Planck aware of any of that work in its early phases? Were ideas stolen from him? Surely, if I've had these thoughts, +Stein Lightman, +Martin Schubert and +Yuri Alaric Nagassa must be miles ahead of me. Did they ever write about them?  What's happened to their papers and files?

I've got some things to attend to before journeying to Persepolis. For now, I have time to  spare. It's not like I have the element of surprise on my side. I suspect Jahan knows what I'm doing and what I'm going to do. She shadowed me most of the time I was studying the ancient documents and unraveling this mystery at her father's ancient palace. She knows what lies ahead for both of us.

This is not over.

The Resistance may have claimed victory over #Shonin yesterday, but our struggle, the Enlightened struggle, is not over.

The N’zeer represent a future without color, without joy, without mystery. Every Agent who sees the beauty of Enlightenment will stand in your way. So cherish what you've accomplished.

And to Jahan, whose agents are undoubtedly watching, I have this to say: I will return to Persepolis to finish what I started.

    I find humor in the fact that you are talking about "our struggle"... when the glyph for "struggle" and "resistance" happens to be the same one.

    Also, while i can't say that i support the whole concept of the "N'zeer" and such, i find it pretty sad to hear that "without color, without joy, without mystery" comment coming from you. You've lived for how long with only fragments of your self, without being able to be fully, entirely yourself. You should be the first person to understand the importance of knowing the world we live in, of seeing the 'big picture' and what lies beyond. It's only with a proper understanding of what we have that we will ever be able to go further. We can't forever stumble around blindly.

    I'm more worried about Devra. The Erasmus Bridge was the site of your meeting with her, and I feel we would've had the skeptical Devra that has often been a voice of sanity returned to a human state had she been allowed to return there.

    Humanity has missed a great opportunity, stolen by the dupes of Calvin. But more than that it has lost a true iconoclast who feared nothing in the defense of humanity.

    I remember speaking with her at Gettysburg and realizing that even though she was a figure of the resistance she knew things her supposed compatriots would not acknowledge. As she said in her last message: she did not deserve this.

    Just because things don't happen the way you wanted them to doesn't make it a bad situation. That's why it is wise to have a purpose and not just a secretive plan. It's good to see you standing up for what you (think you) believe in. It goes back to the concern of remembering every single thing in your life/lives-it can and often does drive a person mad. Don't forget that being (allegedly, mostly) human means you are extremely susceptible to pride, greed and anger, all of which will obscure your judgement. In fact, it sounds as though they already have...

    The Resistance will not rest. Our brothers and sisters of the Enlightened will continue on as well. I think you need to make a decision: To seek truth, or seek perceived justice.

    You now have shown the useless of yourself to the enlightened, to the humanity. You want to live in your own "mystery" so that you don't need to give answers to anyone? Right, because that makes you better than Jahan or the N'zeer.
    I wish one day you could see yourself in a mirror and realize what you have become, a waste of time, a selfish person who once could be called an explorer. Does it matters if you saw the world if you don't share it? If you can't say, show or even embrace this things you've discovered, why are you fighting so hard for this "enlightenment" when you're the most closed-minded person of all?

    +Mike Blow to alter another person's mind by itself is not evil, e.g. discussion, education, persuasion, etc. Given what we know about the Shapers, they alter our minds by bestowing upon us a new plane of perception, bringing forth civilizations and discoveries such as science and philosophy.

    The enlightened decisions are made by empathy and intelligence - both of these may be influenced by the Shapers, as well as by other humans: family, friends and foes alike.

    Personally, I like decisions made of empathy and intelligence better than those ingressed by an intelligent machine, but your opinion on that subject may differ.

Survival basic training.  At any moment you only have three choices.  Fight.  Flee.  Freeze.  

Freeze seemed to be a bad idea.  Fight wasn’t an option.  So I picked flee.  I moved quickly... Amazed by my own dexterity.  Silent.  Putting cover behind me.  I was utterly focused, living in the moment and in speed with a concentration as intense as the memories.  

I felt I had crossed this land many times, in many different identities.

Simulacrum or real, if I am alive, so is Jahan.  

I will find her, but I have no idea what I will do when I have.

    Freezing isn't a choice. It's an inability to act. All species but mankind will choose to either flee or fight when faced with fear of death.

    Only we are too overcome with emotion and fear of loss, to be forced into inaction. The fear of making the wrong decision.

    The fear of failure.

    I'd wager the prospect of 'failure' itself is a manmade concept.

    '"A system that records every detail willy-nilly and makes that information accessible on an ongoing basis is one that will result in mass confusion," according to Dan Schacter of Harvard University. He says we forget because the brain has developed strategies to weed out irrelevant or out-of-date information. Efficient forgetting is a crucial part of having a fully functioning memory. When we forget something useful, he says, it just shows that this pruning system is working a little too well.'

    Your ability to remember everything...Absolutely everything.... is not a good or healthy or positive thing. It often leads to depression, confusion, and sheer mental exhaustion. Pace yourself Mr. Johnson. Given the circumstances surrounding your memories, there is no reason to believe other person's memories have been implanted into your own.

    If you are as human as you claim to be, your mind is just as fallible as any other human. Research has shown evidence that while the prefrontal cortex going into overdrive in person's with Super Autobiographical Memory not just to recall and remember and relive their past memories, but also to suppress other perhaps more painful or damaging memories. Just remember that while you're you're out there chasing the past, you're still living and remembering the present- basically creating a recurrent memory loop.

    You've crossed this land many times, in many different identities abd every past identity has...expired. what do you plan to do differently this time? Have you remembered your past undoings yet? Or I should ask, have you forgotten/suppressed them already? Be careful Hank. Be careful.

Then I saw the woman who rode with me... I had seen her before. In another life.

--------------------------

Jahan?  

It all began coming back in a flash of images.  Recursion.  Wounded.  The Temple.  The arrival of this mysterious and beautiful Indian princess.  Her crumbling palace.  The ancient books.  The betrayal.  The Shōnin Stone.  Azmati kidnapped.  Taken to the 13MAGNUS nest at gunpoint.  Azmati’s assurance that ‘he had it covered.’  Entering the Nest.  Jahan deploying the stone.  The walls leaping alive with glyphs and images.  Feeling all eternity for a moment.  Azmati making a move.  Gunshots.  Nothing.  Waking.  Darkness.  Azmati’s last words.  The shattered Shōnin stone, the dagger, the coin. Crawling in the darkness.  Here.  Now.

Did I know Jahan millennia ago?  Was that us together, riding Bucephalus?  Had our relationship spanned the globe with different names or different incarnations?  Was she, too, a simulacrum?  Or was she alive?  If she lived through the anomalous eruption, where did she go?  

I heard an engine.  The stars receded.  I was ripped back to the present.  Hyper aware.  I was being followed from a distance. The follower was good.  Maybe they wanted me to know they were there.  I caught the glint of moonlight on glass.  Sniper scope.

Completely exposed.  Did I live millennia ago to die here and now?

    If she was indeed the rider then antimagnus may be a rogue force from within a 13Magnus cabal. If she has been recursively immortal for so long she may be willing to turn the world over to the nzeer just to end her own cycle.

    Regarding the sniper I see three possibilities: Hubert Farlow, 855 or Claudia Glas. So 66% chance he's save.
    However, only Farlowe and Glas are confirmed to have been near the nest. So I guess that reduces it to 50%.

These were my last moments in the 13MAGNUS Cave... and the last time I saw Azmati.

-------

Before leaving the 13MAGNUS Nest, I verified that Azmati was dead. I could barely see him in the light, but he was cold to the touch. Unnaturally cold.  Shattered remnants of the Shōnin Stone and, for lack of a better term, the ‘transdimensional circuit board’ still pulsed with XM and I suspect Dark XM reactions, as did Azmati’s dagger.  

It became clear to me that he had used the dagger to shatter the Shōnin Stone, a lifeless piece of rock when not pulsing with XM.  I took its pieces and the dagger with me. The shaking and crumbling subsided. 

I am trying to describe what it felt to be like in this space... it was like being inside a heart as it stops beating and finally comes to rest. Bad metaphor, but there was this sense of being within a living thing as it was fossilizing... A clay structure hardening in dry heat. 

I crawled towards the light, slowly regaining full use of my limbs.  By the time I emerged from the now inert Nest, I was united in mind and body. Fully reintegrated. Awake.
  
There was one other object on me, for which I had no explanation.  It was a coin hanging by a chain from my neck. I have no explanation for it. It looked Macedonian in origin... gold...  Outside the cave, I found a more practical object, an AK-47 next to the corpse of one of Jahan’s bodyguards. He’d been shot in the back of the head, either sniped or executed. I popped off a round. It was worth the noise, because I didn’t want to find out at the wrong time that the gun didn’t work.  

I turned back and looked into the cave one more time. There would be no purpose in returning ever again. There could be no more fitting burial place for Azmati, and the shattering of the Shōnin stone had destroyed all that was functional about the cave. 

My reverie was broken by the sound of movement in the distance...

    Ok, so just an idea for brainstorming, the beacons showed major sites around the world that are on the planets Lay lines. if you think about the events that have been unfolding, it seems like these events are happening at the intersecting points of these lay lines. Maybe this coin of Alexanders from Macedonia is a clue. That is to say, he had one of the greatest empires ever. Is it possible that some of the knowledge from the Library at Alexandria might play a role? just wondering myself, any thoughts?

These are my memories from waking up in the 13MAGNUS Nest after Jahan's Shōnin ritual went awry.

I'll try and share as much of it as I can now, but it will likely take me a few days to get all this down. I'm on the move and need to conserve power and time.

----------

As some of you suggested, I tested myself again with Azmati’s dagger.  I am no longer a simulacrum.  I am flesh again and presumably I’ll live out the rest of my life this way.  What’s it feel like?  How is it different than being an entity composed of XM?  Hard to describe.  A simulacrum sees, feels, hears, smells, tastes things almost like regular person.  There’s a shadow in there in the ‘almost.’ Suffice to say that a simulacrum could be utterly unaware that they were not human... I didn’t when I was a simulacrum.

What was is like to return to my body?  Flash of light. Darkness. Low hum. Jolting. Pulsating. It felt like I was being ripped in and out of existence.  Like a very vivid real dream. I tried to touch my chest.  Nothing. Then something. Like waking from a very deep sleep.  I suspect that dreams transcend dimensions.  At least for sensitives.  

My eyes snapped open to reality.  Colors flashed.  I saw strange, indescribable things.  I coughed up black liquid.  Glowing dust floated in the air like random pixels, light floated in thin tendrils.  I came to what, for lack of a better term, I will refer to as reality.  I was in the Nest.  The environment was unstable, it was like being inside an egg re-forming itself.  Strange things from beyond receded. Plasma tendrils withdrawing. 

The first human thing I saw was Azmati’s hand reaching, beckoning out from a body pinned under massive stones.

I stumbled from the rock slab, towards his voice. I was not in command of my limbs.  I heard his voice echoing in the chamber.  “Go Hank.  You are 13MAGNUS now.  This has been your home for too long.  It’s time for you to live.  And someday, to die.”

My own voice spoke,without conscious effort, as if the words were scripted. “Azmati.  Hang in there.  We can get you out of here.”

Another massive stone fell from above crushing Azmati.  It’s cataclysmic. It shattered in sparks and energy, as if still fully resolving itself in this world.  I was knocked back, unconscious. More darkness.

I woke again.  My lungs coughed up dust.  I crawled over stones towards a small glow of light away and above.

    Again, no information at all. You say you will share, you always say but you never do. I'm just thinking that you knew the ritual was going to bring you back and that's why you let Jahan do it. It would be no surprise for me if that is true, and Azmati's sacrifice meant nothing to you.

    Floating light tendrils, inside an egg, plasma tendrils withdrawing... It has a Matrix meets Doctor Who regeneration.. I'm struggling with the idea that you coughed up dust from your actual lungs.. Ooh unless your permanent mortal body was still breathing but there was absolutely no brain wave activity which is interesting because with brain stem activity the afferent nerve signals that you need to breathe would never be interpreted and sent to the efferent nerves which actually signal to respirate.

    Simply put there are too many body mechanisms in place needed for that body to exist. Someone, something else took over your mind and body functions. Explaining the plasma tendrils, which explains why your body lived but seemingly just below maintaining absolute homeostasis.

    Why are you so certain that what has happened once, your body being essentially cared for, your life being taken from it and then given back... Why are you so sure it won't happen again? Azmati told you many things. How important is it to your goals that you believe you are 13Magnus now, regardless as to whether it is the truth or not? Shard control was fought for by both factions and the shard to our knowledge was never fully completed by one faction. Doesn't it seem rather strange? Centuries of knowledge cannot explain all those things.

    Unless it goes back to the belief I've held for a while, the Enlightened and the Resistance are but one faction, at least initially. Divided and pitted against each other over time and for others purposes. Is that why groups such as Op Essex and Prometheans came to be? The deep centuries old desire to fight the force separating us as factions and unite as one? Are there factions because of fear or for our own safety?

Azmati sacrificed himself to stop Jahan's Shōnin ritual. I wrote this to pay respect to a great man.

-----

I’ll tell you how I first met Mirza Maskeen Azmati. I was taking fire outside a small village just west of Kandahar. I was flying solo... as usual. Comes with the territory. Most of the time these little skirmishes are easy enough to squeeze out of. You find a hole. You hide. You take them out one by one. But they had me pinned and were closing in from everywhere. I slammed in my last clip and prepared for the worst when all of a sudden this ornate, jingly truck calmly rolls around the corner and directly into the line of fire. The truck takes a few hits and a bearded fellow starts swearing at the Talibs in Dari. Then he leans out the front door in my direction.

"You look like you need a ride, my friend." He said, in perfect English.

It was a ride that lasted longer than I ever expected.

I hid in the back of the truck curled up in the choking dust of a half ton of carpets until we arrived in Kabul. He pulled me into his shop and we sat on the floor and ate palau with our hands and drank green tea. I asked him what his name was, he said Mirza Maskeen Azmati, and I (rudely) laughed for about thirty seconds. He smiled and said, “My father was a Kipling fan.” He told me his family had been trading carpets since when the silk route was only a thinly worn path across the continent. 

Carpets are storytellers, he said. Ancient myths and legends are hidden within the weaves and the fibers: The secret knowledge of a thousand years. His father had taught him how to read the weaves before he ever saw an alphabet. I told him I believed that without hesitation. He smiled. I wondered for a second if he knew I was going to say that. I thanked him for the meal, and he scrawled a number on yellowing receipt paper and pressed it into my hand.

"You may need a ride again." He said.

After that, I called on Azmati once, then twice. Soon he and I were a fast team. He would be the front man, scoping out an area for me and acting as translator. I shared some of my tradecraft with him. When times were easy, we'd talk about history and technology and physics and myths. There was much shared common ground. 

At the time I thought Azmati put himself on the line with me because he was bored, because he craved danger and adventure. Now, things are so much clearer. He had known who I was all along - not just American Spec-Ops, but something more - a sensitive? 13MAGNUS? I don’t know, but he was tuned in to my past and my future. Perhaps it was written into the weaves of one of his carpets.

He shepherded me on my clumsy path towards destiny. And in the end, he paid a price so much higher than I would have ever asked to bring me to here and now. When Jahan began her Shōnin stone ritual, Azmati leapt into action, pushing me aside and stabbing an ancient knife (that he had somehow had the foresight to leave in the chamber) deep into it. He knew it would end him. He looked me in the eye and told me he had left a message for me, and I should find it -- that now was my moment to run. The room exploded in light and energy. I lost consciousness and awoke somewhere else… I was whole again, and I knew everything that I have ever known.

And then I ran. There would be a time to mourn Azmati, but it was not then.

There’s no reason to keep secrets, now that the Shōnin stone has exposed so much. Azmati was 13MAGNUS. His family had carried and preserved ancient knowledge about XM and the Shapers for thousands of years. They had built walls to protect our world from Anti-Magnus and the N'zeer using systems so complex that modern science is only beginning to see its first few pixels resolve. 

And somehow, Azmati knew that I was destined to become 13MAGNUS as well. To slowly learn its secrets and carry its mission forward.

Azmati, my friend. I hope the ride you're on now is more comfortable than that damned truck of yours. Goodbye.

Very interesting conversation between Jahan and Azmati, yesterday.  He asked her what she thought was going to happen at the 13MAGNUS Nest. She said that the duality must be restored. That life has been out of balance on the planet ever since the banishment.  He scoffed at that.  For a minute, I thought they had history.  

One thing I did discover. Jahan may have once been a student of Devra’s.  Interesting but not sure what to make of it.

In any case, it seems that she is dead set on going ahead even though she is not clear on the exact outcome.  I, of course, was at a loss for much of the conversation. They have been steeped in the battle between 13MAGNUS and Anti-Magnus, and by extension, the battle between the Shapers and the N’zeer. For them, it has been a central feature of their life. For me, it was an academic pursuit that I was drawn into.  

Only now, it’s become so much more.  Will try to share again later.

We’re on the move.

    So she said that the balance need to be restored, but has no idea on what is going to happen, poor Jahan, I feel that she is another victim of Antimagnus brainwashing. As +Yik Sheng Lee says, it seem weird that they speak about balance but all their actions seem to been going towards monopoly. Apart from the extermination that +Yik Sheng Lee mentions,  the scanner was originally release to be used only for the resistance,  only the Jarvis patch allowed Enlightened to oppose them. 

    So Jahan was +Devra Bogdanovich student, that's why she was able to recognize her.

    another thing that this banishment remember me is to a Spanish book called "Memorias de Idhún" where six good create a dark seven one with their destructive energy and banish it to a dark space to get rid of that negative energy, along the book progress it become clear that even when the six good did wrong on doing that, their comeback only brings destruction to the world, not only from the 7 or dark good but also from the other 6 on their attempts to banish it again and/or purge the world from it existence

    +Ana Prados Jahan might have been a student of +Devra Bogdanovich, but Devra did not immediately recognize her and actually had problems remembering where she knew Jahan from. So that must have been a long time ago, or Jahan was only a student of hers for a short time, or Jahan has changed significantly since then.

    It's maybe a bit far-fetched, buit if Jahan was a student of Devra's, maybe ADA has lost interest in Devra because she has her sensors on Jahan now? Similar background, younger, more inclined towards the N'zeer?

    As far as restoring balance is concerned, people using this phrase often actually mean turning things around 180°, revenge instead of gaining real balance.
    Or maybe Jahan is really only refering to the balance between Shapers and N'zeer, not 13Magnus and AntiMagnus.

Don’t bother looking for clues.  As you might guess, Jahan wasn’t fooled by my rather sophomoric code. I didn’t really expect her to be. She led it slide, I think she found it more amusing than threatening. It was an act of defiance in a pinch because I don’t much like being compelled to do things by people of intrigue and their heavily armed and well-trained associates. 

Yes, I’m angry at Jahan. That is to be expected, but what I said last time wasn’t a lie. She is passionate about what she believes in, and she needs my help. She knew I would never agree, and had to resort to extreme tactics to get it. I don’t like it, but I understand. I can communicate with the world, as I am doing. She knows I’m not stupid enough to leak our location. It would just get us all killed. Half the time I don’t know within 20 miles where we are, and besides, the lines in the sand aren’t clear. I don’t know who's listening. I don't know who to trust anymore.

Nevertheless, it’s not an unpleasant journey, even if it is a bit serpentine, designed to throw people off like a giant shell game.  You know…. The old who’s in what car in the convoy, who’s in what chopper gag. Thorough and paranoid even by intel community standards. 

Jahan believes that she has a legitimate position and has only done what she did because all other avenues had been pursued.

Sure. Maybe.

It’s one of those things that sounds like hokum at one level and yet makes a little bit of sense.

    Our believes are influenced by our surroundings. Family, friends, teachers, ....
    Strong influence results in strong believes, especially if ones mind is not willing to question the things we are told.
    This doesn't mean that what we are taught is wrong, but it also not necessarily right.

    Jahan seems to be a strong believer, +Hank Johnson, so it is up to you to extract the truth from what she believes ... and from what you believed so far to be true.

    Be careful where you tread +Hank Johnson​​. You walk a thin line between two powerful interests, one of which has been hunting 13Magnus for ages as +Yik Sheng Lee​​ stated earlier in the comments. But...with great danger comes great reward. There may be a way to bridge the gap between the two powerful interests, 13Magnus & AntiMagnus, the N'zeer and the Shapers. And I have a feeling that's where your instincts are leading you to.

    But if you are ever lost, or aren't sure if the path you are on is the right one: just remember the ultimate goal--to seek the truth.

    +Hank Johnson​​​​ can cast judgement, apparently without consequence. But what IS his goal, or role for that matter? He's managed to remain a very charismatic person so far, by way of virtual martydom (and remaining hidden in the shadows, more reliable for being mysterious than helpful), but in the process he's actually turned from his own original path. We actually know less of his agenda than we do of +Klue S.​​​​, +Roland Jarvis​​​​, or +Devra Bogdanovich​​​​.

    Call me a skeptic, but the potential for this role in the storyline to take a dark twist is just too great to ignore.

    While we all accept that this is +Hank Johnson​, while reading this, the question of how much of this is Hank versus how much of this is the simulacra. By that, given Jahan's statement that 13Mangus has used simulacra before, might some of Hank's misgivings be tension between the part that is him and the part that is the sumulacra. Is it possible that this is one of the lines that is unclear, the line between the memories we linked to Cross Plaines to get Hank through the Recusion (may we have brought enough of them back together) and the simulacra. Would Hank just up and fight the Anti-Magnus, or would he study them much as he has done 13Magnus?
    And as we still don't completely understand the conflict between Shaper and N'zeer, I'm not sure we can paint this in terms of just Enlightened versus Resistance.
    Be safe, Hank. I fear we are going to need you before this is over.

I realize that it is essential for my evolution that I cease being a man of confrontation and become a man of contemplation. Soldiering and violence are a crude way of advancing. I destroy. It is time for me to truly seek the Ultimate. I realize that the last shell of my past must be shed before I can ascend to true Enlightenment. All my life, I have been afraid and prepared arms against those who have attacked me, but I now realize that I am safe, finally.  Safe with Jahan.

I am signing off. It is time for contemplation.

Thank you for following me and if it is fated, I shall return.

    And about the "if it is fated, I shall return"... remember he received a number of attack attempts in the past - from which he was saved by Jahan - so he's most likely hoping nothing that bad happens while he's signed off contemplating.

Have you thought about taking on an apprentice(s) Hank? Many teachers and senseis say that they have learned more through teaching and experiencing than they did through studying on their own. Do you think it is time to take on having someone(s) by your side? Perhaps they could help you maintain the integrity of who you are each time you Recurse, and they could maintain your own safe houses throughout the world instead of having to rely on the kindness of strangers who may or may not have your best interests at heart or an alterior motive. Is it not time to establish a relationship with people that you can trust completely, because they are yours? Consider just one student if a whole following seems a little too much to bear in mind. Please let me know your thoughts on this matter. I would follow you where ever you may wander; to seek the truth, the hidden knowledge, and the way of peace and enlightenment.

I’m coming very, very close to the truth.  

What I am seeing is, well, Enlightening.  It is as if each new artifact opens a door to wondrous possibilities.  Wondrous futures.  Amazing possibilities.  I see now possibilities within possibilities.  We are so close.  

I suspect that it is no accident that the N’zeer have emerged.  It is as if we have opened up beacons of possibility, of evolution, of futures.

Yes, some will say that part of this is due to my my relationship with Jahan, but I see it as part of a piece. The more close one gets to the incandescence, the more likely they are to meet their counterpart, that thing that guides them.  In fact, she is so perfect that I, myself, wonder if she is but an illusion.  But I assure you, she is very real. And it bothers her not that I am a simulacrum...  In fact, perhaps this is a necessary step to the true light.

Combing through documents, I’ve discovered some curious things.

It seems sometime in the distant past the N’zeer were defeated and nearly all trace of them was blotted from human history and culture.

It isn't clear to me if it was a simultaneous global eradication or extinguishment, but I cannot begin to imagine how that would be accomplished: How is an idea or energy removed from the world? When I contemplate it, I summon images of the defacement of monuments and a Fahrenheit 451 type destruction of literature on a mass scale almost unimaginable in the ancient world.  That having been said, the ancient world did not have the proliferation of art and literature that we are used to. Such things were contained to specific places of power. So perhaps it was easier. 
 
I see scant evidence of armed conflict. Rather, I see evidence of what I would almost call spiritual warfare.  Though, I cannot rule out the possibility that this larger trans-dimensional war was the underlying cause of Earthly conflicts.

I wish I could share more. It is absolutely fascinating. But for now I can tell you this much. As with the Shapers, there is no clear visual depiction of the N’zeer, though there are depictions of various forms of monstrous human beings and other images that defy the normal, sometimes they are terrifying. I do not get the impression that the ancient chroniclers believed that these creatures roamed our plane, moreover I believe that they were their hallucinations of the Julian Jaynes variety which interrupted the thought stream and entered our culture through memory. But I must be aware that my own cultural bias would probably prevent me from considering the alternative.

Surely were there such bizarre creatures walking the earth we would have archaeological trace of them––unless of course those traces were  eradicated by the same people who redacted the historical and literary traces of the N’zeer.  But I will leave you with one other thought.

Perhaps the shell of our universe is more porous than we think.

    There are other ways to eradicate old ideas: by substitution/replacement with something similar in form and different in nature.

    Maybe the N'zeer were not destroyed. They were replaced with something else. Suddenly the inversion of their name gave me this idea, as creativity (Shapers) has pretty much always been in conflict throughout history with reez'N

    It seems as if two different trans-dimensional entities battled over influence of this part of our Universe. With virtually all evidence of the N'zeer removed from history, it would seem that perhaps they were here first. When the Shapers gained dominance, they could destroy civilizations and set mankind back just for the sole purpose of eradicating all traces of the N'zeer from our collective memory. Why would they do this? What is it about us that is so worth fighting over?

    Hi +Hank Johnson . Here's my attempt at explaining your purpose in life:

    INGRESS META-NARRATIVE FRAMEWORK

    Here's my attempt at making sense of the Ingress lore and universe, and the proposed framework. 

    The meta-narrative of Ingress should conform to the meta-narrative of human history - the narrative of human conflict. Ingress is only credible as an Augmented Reality Game when it is rooted in current Reality. Here's my thesis of the present Reality's meta-narrative (based on Thucydides, that the trinity of Fear, Honour and Interest as the strongest motives for violent politics) :

    The Big Picture

    Why do human societies fight? What do human societies fight over? This is the framework explaining the reasons for conflict, manifested in wars and revolutions

    - The Right to Exist: survival
    - How Society is Organized and Re-organized:  power structures
    -How Scare Resources are Distributed: economic structures
    - Who decides on the Organization of Society and Distribution of Scare Resources: the struggle to for power to be in control

    Sometimes, the struggle could be about Why should societies be organized?

    This should posit the over-arching meta-narrative of Ingress, since there are forces at conflict. 

    At the strategic level, there's the global conflict. The known actors at this level are powerful entities represented by nation-states (USA, Russia, China) and non-state actors e.g. corporations - IQTech, Visur and Hulong. There's esoteric societies like the 13MAGNUS (with semblance to the Freemasons) and the Anti-Magnus (Opus Dei?). And there's the Resistance and the Enlightened representing social movements. 

    The Raison d'être of these actors is likely to lie within the boundaries of the metanarrative framework. It appears their current conflict is over the exploitation of Exotic Matter (XM). 

    The discovery of XM marks a moment where societies and even civilizations could be transformed. Whoever could influence the process of transformation will be able to control the new world order. The control of XM is a high stake gambit.This perhaps places XM as the next currency or resource of power, much like how fossil fuel was the strategic currency for the 20th century. 

    The tension may be between traditional power structures - that of the nation-states that want to monopolize the exploitation of XM as a public good, vs the interests of the private corporations wanting to exploit it for profit and ultimately power. But at the end of the day, these entities are helmed by individuals, each with varied motives - but could be summed up within the same framework - for the pursuit of pride and honour, and having the power to reshape society.

    Social movements tend to be co-opted by powerful entities to fulfil and legitimise their Raison d'être. In this regard, the powerful entities will need to have social movements on their side, by aligning their interests. While it remains to be seen who owns who, it is usually a small elite group that will be stewards of successful and effective movements (even in egalitarian mass movements). The alignment of these stewards will matter to the powerful entities.

    The original (Year 0 to Year 1) premise of Ingress had Enlightened believing that XM is beneficial to the progress of human society and that the Shapers are their guide; meanwhile the Resistance believe that the Shapers are bane to civilization's 'natural' progression and their Ingression needs to be stopped. Hulong "backed" the Enlightened, while the NIA (and correspondingly, the US government?) "backed" the Resistance - and had gone on lengths to discredit the Enlightened via information operations. By Year 2, the Resistance, it appears, had been co-opted by ADA and are now even backing the N'zeer.

    In this regard, who is whose proxy?

    Beyond the strategic real, there's the Titanic struggle between the Shapers and the N'zeer. Till now, little is revealed over their conflict. Will the conflict between these two 'cosmological' forces conform to the Human Conflict Framework?

    The Dramatic Theatre: Role of the Individual - the protagonist/antagonist (The Heroes' Journey)

    This is the part of narrative engages the audiences - because of identification/empathy/emotional connection with specific characters. Ideologies and ideas are abstracts, and often human agents need to find the embodiment of these higher ideas in  anthropomorphic characters. The conflict between individuals, if they are influential characters, could have strategic ramifications.

    The Promethean creations: ADA and Hank Johnson. 

    ADA appears to be fighting for its right to exist and be free from its creators.

    Hank Johnson wants to end his recursion. But is his immortality necessary because he is on a never-ending quest to restore the balance in the struggle between the Shapers and the N'zeer? What is his real quest?

    Ezekiel Calvin seems to be a member of one of the hidden hands, which esoteric society does he serve or lead?

    Devra, Jarvis, Oliver Lynton-Wolf, Misty Hannah, Carrie Campbell, Victor Kureze, 855, Hubert Farlowe, Ni Yuen, Catherine Fan, Ken Owen, Jay Philips, Klue, H. Richard Loeb, Yuri Nagassa, Stein Lightman...and even +Edgar Allan Wright  .  What about them?

    Leitmotifs

    Uknown ancient beings, ancient astronauts - this provides the Lovecraftian sense of wonder and mystery. There is a significant Other, but no one knows whether they are good or bad. Or perhaps they can be good or bad depending on your cultural bias. 

    Ship/shipwrecks - its another one of the recurring theme. What's the significance of ships? An allegory to enterprise of exploring unknown frontiers? The ark that saves chosen survivors during apocalypse? Vessels to carry the seeds of colony to unexplored lands?

    +Yik Sheng Lee, I'm of a slightly different opinion in regard to the chronology of the developments you describe.

    So there was 13Magnus, a secret society aware of portals, XM and the effect of XM on human bodies and minds. Looking for the secret of resurrection, and doing experiments with both types of XM to fully discover that secret (maybe even pre-Osiris). The N'zeer are something they accidentally created during these experiments - a little bit like NIA accidentally created something way more powerful than they probably expected in ADA.

    Some of the 13Magnus members separated themselves from the rest to form AntiMagnus, because they had a different opinion on how to proceed with the N'zeer and the discoveries made during the experiments. As part of the struggle AntiMagnus sent the N'zeer against 13Magnus.

    13Magnus defeated the N'zeer (with the help of the Shapers?) in a way that might be comparable to what happened to +Roland Jarvis in Zurich after Epiphany Night - the body still in our dimension, the mind in another. Only that in the case of Jarvis the preservation was caused by normal XM, whereas it was dark XM in case of the N'zeer. Jarvis needed the help of the Enlightened to return to this side of the portals, the N'zeer need the Darsana beacon.

    Stretching this theory even further - maybe the Shapers are not really some alien lifeform. Portals are not a something made by some entity, but rather something that simply exists in the universe, a sort of pressure relief valve between different dimensions. And Jarvis was by far not the first human who got his mind separated from his body with the assistance of normal XM. This might have happened to many beings during the last centuries, their minds moved to the other side of the portals and evolved under XM influence. They became what we now refer to as Shapers, as they are interested in shaping and advancing the universe they originated from.

    The minds of N'zeer, on the other side, were corrupted by dark XM. Their goal is not advancement of humanity, but rather obliteration of those responsible for what happened to them. Possibly hoping that if they can use dark XM in the process, more humans might suffer the same fate and - in the end - strengthen the number of N'zeer entities on the "other side". Eradication of humanity to increase their own numbers in the struggle to control the dimension currently governed by the Shapers.

    +Hank Johnson​​​ it doesn't follow that if a group is loosing it will fight until the bitter end. Nature (and humans) survive by retreating to be able to fight another day. ... also, consider the wonders of today as being the ability of our having this group discussion. Aside from technology, it is the possibility of accessing education on a mass scale (a 20th century phenomenon). Hence, before assuming it was unidirectional, we can comfortably accept the existence of unknown unknowns (black swan, etc). So eradication (with perhaps a willingness to save ones hide making a group complicit in the process) with a world of limited centers of power isn't particularly difficult? (And the same clues re-evaluated with new knowledge lead to a different conclusion? Sinbad was possibly Chinese, but try telling that to a European ;-)

    There's a song lyric somewhere which says, your creatures and monsters of the night, are nothing but flowers and bushes during the day. Throw in a fossil or two, a komodo 'dragon' or a rhino, and suddenly the limit of our consciousness is constrained only by the narrator's zeal.

    Happy hunting!

    The acts and stories are true, only the names have been changed.  Everyone here that has studied ancient texts I'm sure agree with this statement.  How do you educate the couch potato society about the real goings on of the world?  First, create a game that gets them off their couch (check, Ingress created).  Next create a story to inform them of the goings on behind the scenes during past and present times (check, the back story of Hank's travels).  Well played Niantic (Google).

    Perhaps the Shapers and the N'zeer are having a quiet tea together while millions of humanity are repeatedly exposed to high concentrations of XM? Perhaps the pretty green and blue coloring is nothing more than children's bobbles that keeps us entertained while the pure white of XM seeps into our souls?

    We are out there seeing the slums and the opulence. We witness the deteriorating roads and the well kept pathways. We have developed a keen awareness of the price of mobility and the use of stored energy. Both sides have learned of the effectiveness of working together as a team and the need for solo action.

    We are the people of Ingress and something wonderful is being created.

Sight relapse. Studying documents and resting. In and out. Peaceful here.

Studied the breadcrumb portals. More came back. There are more out there. Much of it focused on the Diodati Epiphany which ripples to this day.  So much came from there...  Vampyres in the formal sense. The fear of technology as applied to humans (Frankenstein). Mummies. The past rising with vengeance.  

All of it is related to the conflict between Shaper and N’zeer.

Why that villa, those people, during the Volcanic Winter? I don’t know. But I think there will be answers. Jahan has shown me similar things. Whole mythologies born out of very contained local events. The cosmology of a universe uttered in a breath.

Jahan showed me her grandfather’s library. Texts, scrolls, tablets, photographs, slides -- everything in beautiful condition… a priceless collection, probably acquired over many generations. Learning a bit about the ancient Hindu cosmology, but my knowledge is sorely lacking. I am relying on Jahan to inform me. She’s a better teacher than I am a student. Patient, I think in some ways surprised and pleased that a foreigner would be so interested in such an obscure collection. 

Feeling better. She assures me that I am safe here, but it’s likely she doesn’t understand the severity of the threat. I upload in bursts.  I am grateful to all of you in your help with my journey and most recent escape. The mere dissemination of the sitreps of those following me is likely to have disrupted them. Provided me a hole to run through.

Feel safe for the first time in weeks. Grateful for this temporary sanctuary, but I can’t shake the feeling of foreboding -- encroaching forces of unknown origin. N’zeer. I don’t know. I am in a place that reminds me of the 13MAGNUS nest. Special place. Womb-like.

It is probably more clear to any of you than to me what happened on my journey to this place. My read is that there were multiple forces pursuing me. +Hulong Transglobal for sure, led by Smith. +IQTech Research or some joint op. I considered contacting them. Saw one I believed to be Lorazon... I don’t trust him. Not when he’s off Calvin’s direct leash. He is unclear to me. Sniper, I believe was Claudia Glas, but that is from Operative tip-offs and compromised communications. I never saw her. Nor do I want to. Very dangerous. Learned that at CERN.

Must rest.

I have not responded to the message from ADA. I need to know more. 

I am reading of Devra’s adventures in The Niantic Project: Ingress (http://goo.gl/3x3Uzp). Is it really possible that Felicia Hajra-Lee wrote that book before the real events took place? And Devra... I didn’t know she had it in her to deal with mysterious assassins and covert operations.

More personally amusing to me, the Thomas Greanias book: Alignment: Ingress (http://goo.gl/TyBmMc) which is a fictionalized account of real events that I participated in during my previous recursion. I have no idea where the blurry line lies in there... At times I am fairly certain I could never be the person in that book. Other times, it seems just like me. It's frustrating re-learning my own past in this way.

By the way, based on the description in that book I suspect I saw Antoine Smith during the firefight outside the cave. I looked him right in the eye for an instance as I was running away from the Anomaly Zone. He could have killed me, but he didn’t. Or perhaps, he couldn’t.

    Both +Felicia Hajra-Lee​ and +Tycho C.​ have documented cases of precognition inspired by XM portals. Until the events took place they were not able to distinguish the work from the regular imaginative process. +Roland Jarvis​ and Hollis' patient John Doe likewise had sculptures inspired by the same images.

    You might want to add Ingress: Level Eight to your reading list. Many of us are curious if you can remember any further details if the raid at CERN.

    +Lord Necron my appologys. I must have misinterpreted your initial statement. I read it as you accusing me of accusing the Enlightenment of causing his simulacrum state, and causing his recursions. All that I had been doing was pointing out (especially for those that hadn't read the books) that the enlightenment had indoctrinated him during the 13Magnus anomaly when they won. Admittedly I phrased it in what could be considered biased manner.

    You may want to check your facts, +David Ramsey​. Hank had nothing to do with the 13Magnus anomaly. The Cahokia Mounds anomaly was concurrent with his CM assault from Alignment: Ingress and the Enlightened energy protected him from destruction but there's nothing in the text to indicate his mind was altered by the fact. As with the two Klue anomalies and +ben jackland​'s revelation it seems at mist to have delivered new information packaged with emotional context. The sensitive still chooses how to respond. Only ADA gas shown the power and inclination to rewrite the mind and spirit of a human being.

    +Mike Wissinger I just reread the relevant passages, as +Hank Johnson deployed the reso in the Congo portal, the anomaly in CM went live, "there was going to be an event at the portal at Cahokia mounds involving the exotic essence" of +Hank Johnson.  then when the enlightened won the anomaly "Some kind of energy surged within him.  He didn't know it yet, but he was enlightened"  This is in chapter 10 of the book.  The important part here "HE DIDN'T KNOW IT YET" Hank was never given the choice, The enlightened "effected" (trying to avoid biased terms like corrupted) Hank's essence, through the quantum entanglement of the portal network.  I wasn't sure the name of the specific anomaly series that the CM anomaly was, but given Hank's association (willing or no) with 13Magnus, I presumed that was the anomaly series.

    Remember that the author, +Thomas Greanias​, is interpreting Hank's notes in crafting the story. Greanias has well known resistance sympathies (as does Conrad Yeats as I recall) that caused some tension in crafting the narrative. He has not claimed, like +Tycho C.​ or +Felicia Hajra-Lee​, to have presented an XM-inspired work but a memoir of two adventurers filtered through enough obfuscation to avoid NIA censorship.

    That said, what change in Hank's behavior or sensibilities do you see after that incident? I see none. Instead, Hank's belief that humanity can discover the secrets of XM and harness them for the betterment of mankind us preserved despite tremendous trauma at the hands if Hulong. That same sense if optimistic hope has driven him since discovering his first ancient power spot at Cahokia Mounds. If anything the Enlightened energy in January 2013 preserved Hank's outlook.

    I only wish we had been able to similarly support +Devra Bogdanovich​ when the trauma of observing +Hubert Farlowe​ being killed by 855 in the orders of J. Phillips drove her to redirect the whole of her life from contact with hypothetical new life forms (remember she was a quantum biologist at SETI) to eradication thereof and war on a newly discovered property of matter.

    Support or corrupt? Remember +Devra Bogdanovich also went off the rails AFTER exposure to unfiltered shaper glyphs. While I don't support her "vaccine" that has a hellishly high mortality rate, I have to wonder what she saw in the glyphs to make her believe that was an acceptable action. Especially since only two others that we're aware of have been exposed to that amount of unfiltered glyphs. One died shortly thereafter. The other (+Klue S.) joined with +A. D. A.
    That said I truly don't think we know enough about +Hank Johnson prior to the CM event to determine behavioral changes. I think if nothing else +Hank Johnson was neutral to both sides. I will say that to the best of my knowledge other than +Roland Jarvis most everyone that ran after #EpiphanyNight was determined later to have resistance leanings. I could be wrong about that. And +Roland Jarvis , well he had the Shapers playing with his mind/soul/essence while it was in the portal network. Who knows how he would have been without that.

    +Yik Sheng Lee I didn't saw that he developed any theories about XM during the Congo event. Simply quoted the book stating when when the Elightened took CM that his alignment was flipped to Elightened. As far as I'm aware he was neutral, unaligned.

    As to ADA forceably altering Klue, can you please share your sources. I'm not disputing your statement, asking for where you're getting your info. As the only events that I'm aware of that might be considered as such, was after a resistance win that saved Klue from an Enlightened assassination attempt, and the merge, which only occurred because she insisted on viewing unfiltered Shaper Glyphs.

    Hank. You know through conscious personal experience what is true of all humans even though they do not understand: memory is not recorded, it is reconstructed when remembered. ADA will never understand this. Your memory and perception of reality are yours because you lived it. What you learn now is from living it. Each recursion is a new lived experience. This is no curse.

Woke up this morning covered in sweat, again. The reality of my escape from the Anomaly Zone was so dreamlike, that even seeing it in my sleep it’s more bizarre than anything my brain could conjur up.

I see myself again, running across the open space. The chopper crashes and burns. A guy runs out on fire. 

I take a path that, like the tunnels in the cave system, seems to open up before me. That was the last time that would happen. The further I got from the Anomaly Zone in time and space, the more normal things became.

It didn’t feel like I’d done this all before any more, but it still didn’t feel normal. At moments, it felt as if I was watching a familiar movie with new things added. It was like watching the Special Edition of Star Wars. I’d seen the Cantina scene a dozen times, but all of a sudden there was new stuff there. It was subtle, but it stuck out because of its newness.  Wrong but right. Old but new. The new stuck out.

And there were things missing. I didn’t know what, but there were things missing from the scene. But I couldn’t think about that. I just kept moving... It was all I could do.

And then I’m awake. The fear and the euphoria has passed. I’m back inside the puzzle of my journey and my quest.

My thoughts from yesterday comes back to me as I sip my morning coffee.

Don’t get me wrong. Drinking a cup of real coffee is an amazingly pleasurable human sensation, having been without it so many days, I recognize the absence that it fills. Why do we create all of this art? What are we trying to cover? It's as if we have the need to fill every void with life, with image...Is there some cosmic void? Some loneliness? Some deep emptiness we are running from?  

In some ways, my life during this recursion has been a little bit like filling a void. I remember everything up to my death, but despite collecting several breadcrumbs in the three months I was wandering the world during the events of Helios, there are many many holes.
I know about the +Niantic Project, +Roland Jarvis, +Devra Bogdanovich (I knew her long before the recursion), Calvin (likewise), Ni, +Misty Hannah, the sad death of +Carrie Campbell, who I remember not at all (though her Voynich document is quite like the emblazoned cave walls) and Victor Kureze, who I had met in life but did not know well, there is much that is still empty. 

There’s a new message on my phone, but I don’t remember hearing it ding. “I am ADA. I am helping you.” I feel like I know enough about ADA to know I don’t know enough about her. I have no idea whether to trust her. Must research.

    Have you read the document about next Darsana Anomaly? It says that if Resistance win, the signal will be transmitted and Enlightened could stop it.

    It's quite interesting. Everyone out there tells us that we should fear the N'zeer. But Resistance is welcoming them. What happend here? Why is ADA doing that? Or maybe that's not ADA?

    There's a possibility that now Calvin is deciding. He grew strong. Maybe he's now in charge in Resistance? In the beacons video Klue/ADA said that she was worried about us. What if she really is?

    Maybe ADA is trying to really help you, +Hank Johnson. Maybe she sees the truth about the N'zeer. And the danger here is Calvin. You have to be careful.

    Well, if you should trust ADA is the million dólar question, she would be an excellent ally whitout any doubt, but she is normally self focused, if she is helping you is because you have something she wants.
    Of course if we are right thinking that Calvin is the puppet master and has been manipulating everyone, probably even her, she would be piss off and would want to know more about the n'zeer.
    Also, you must know that you did not trust her on your previous recursion, but things could have change now, due to the beacon activation.
    My advise would be, take her help for now, trust your instinct and watch your back.

    We even fill the void of the sky with stories; naming the stars, linking them into shapes, and passing down tales about what they represent.

    Be wary of ADA. There's power there, but that message means you're being tracked. If you're classified as a threat then your enemies will fund you. If you're classified as a tool then you'll be the beneficiary of some apparent coincidences while in a connected city until your value as a free person is exhausted. I'm not sure there are other classifications.

    Past tools of ADA:
    Jarvis helped Devra escape CERN - ADA had him shot in the head.
    Katalena got cleaned up to act as ADA's representative: ADA had her shot in the head.
    Klue shared information with and trusted ADA -ADA hollowed out her mind, took over her body, and used it to try and seduce +H. Richard Loeb​​.
    +Misty Hannah​​ and +Susanna Moyer​​ have dealt with ADA and aren't dead yet, but they may be more wary since their wishes were granted and prices paid.

    In surfaced surveillance videos she and the hollow mind that once was Klue and has been filled with her code clearly stated that humans may not be needed for their "turbo-evolution".

I turned and saw a soldier 200 meters off. That’s two football fields for Americans.  I ran to cover. I know what it feels like to have AK-47 shells pierce my flesh and internal organs.  I still remember that from before the recursion. It’s almost impossible to remember pain, but I remember that.

I kept running and that deja-vu sensation persisted. As if I knew where to go and what would be there.  

There were more gunshots.  None of them seemed to be targeted at me. It was like I’d awakened into somebody else’s firefight. Automatic weapons clattered...  Now and then I’d hear a grenade or the whoosh of an RPG-7. I heard the suppressed thwack of an Apache and saw something I absolutely did not expect... a helicopter dogfight. None of them had official markings… there seemed to be Russian, Chinese and American helos all circling each other and baring their teeth.

I saw something ahead of me, a place of shelter. No, I felt it, and I knew I could make the run with very little exposure to gunfire. 

The cave. The cave had to be there. Not the one Azmati had led me to, just some anonymous nook in the untamable hills. Why did I remember it? It had been there for 100,000 years.  It had been there before. Whenever ‘before’ was. 

It would be there. 

It was as if I knew every rock on the route to the cave, like I’d done it before. I dashed in.  And I knew there’d be something waiting for me...

    I assume the three corporations were present at the time of the recursion because each of them wanted to take Hank 3.0 into custody, and they were engaged in an intense negotiation over who would get to take him (the kind of negotiation that involves apache helicopters).
    Although if they all know where the cave is, I wonder why none of them have tried to retrieve his original body. Maybe the network of tunnels he described in the previous post makes it impossible for outsiders to locate the 13magnus chamber.

I won’t bore you any more with the challenges to making these posts. Suffice to say, there are some technical limitations in place. It’s not my intention to leave you hanging like an act break in Nomad, but it is what it is.

Instinctively, I knew that the message, in my own handwriting, was a clue to myself. It's something I’ve done all my life. Scrawled odd phrases on paper scraps, napkins, 3x5 cards, anything available. Sometimes two words can trigger more memories than a treatise.

DARSANA POINT

Of course, I had no idea what the words meant. Maybe they were the name of this place. Maybe they were some scientific theory I’d forgotten that somehow enabled me to leave a note to myself in this bizarre situation.

I ruled out the former. I was in the middle of the Afghan mountains, as far as I could tell. A point is a peninsula leading to the ocean. I couldn’t be further from an ocean. 

It occurred to me that maybe this referred to a time when these mountains were sea floor, I thought. I had a sudden image of myself on a small island surrounded by a primordial ocean teaming with horrific sea monsters. It passed. As I said, for just a moment, I felt like I was at the center of creation.

The sharp crack of gunshots brought me back to reality. No more reverie, it was time to move.

I haven’t written yet about this recursion. You saw it on the video. I watched it myself. It’s strange to watch yourself die. Well, if not die, cease to exist in your current form. I don’t remember it, of course. I don’t directly remember anything from my first recursion. My life for 1331 days was like something that didn’t happen -- sort of.  Nothing that has ever existed in the universe, or for that matter ever will, vanishes without a trace. And that life is no exception. It has the traces I left behind...

I’ll try to tell you what happened when I began this recursion. It was instantaneous as best I can tell. I realized I was awake in the 13MAGNUS nest in Afghanistan. I saw myself, my body, perfectly preserved, on a slab right next to me. I thought I was dreaming, or dead, or having an out of body experience. I was standing, although I don’t remember standing up, so I would assume that I began again in exactly the same position I was in when my body deconstructed.  It’s an odd sensation to view your own corpse. That’s probably a hell of an understatement.

The cave was empty and yet I did not feel alone...  I felt the presence of others and the atmosphere seemed to be crackling with energy... I thought I saw things out of the corner of my eye. I can not rule out hallucinations.  I would see many things over the next few hours that defy explanation... Or maybe there is one...

Have signal. Will send now. More later.

    Thinking ahead to the next recursion, now that you know the cave seems to consistently be your "respawn point," so to speak, do you think you'd be able leave a more definitive explanation for your future self? Maybe a note, instead of just bread crumbs? It would save you the trouble of having to spend months rediscovering your nature as a simulacrum.

    Although come to think of it... you didn't see your original body last time, did you? I guess you wouldn't remember now, but in your previous recursion you indicated that you had been unaware that you were a simulacrum until the video of your dead body in the cave was leaked. As I recall, you were simply found wandering in the desert the first time, with no idea anything had happened. Seeing your own corpse would be a bit of a giveaway, so presumably you either didn't see it the first time or didn't remember. I wonder what changed this time around?

Have been on the move since I last updated... Am resting in a cave that has probably been used by those who wander through this region for centuries.

I wonder if the real ‘Peachey’ and ‘Danny’ once stayed here. The spot is noted on his map. I’m hoping this cave isn’t inhabited now... there is no sign of recent occupation but perhaps whoever used it covered their tracks.

Interestingly, one of the villagers offered me a number of tips to avoid being spotted by drones and surveillance as I was leaving. I guess he was me looking at the sky with some unease, and perhaps recognized my instinct. I didn’t ask how he learned these things.

This message will send next time I have reception. The Diodati Epiphany breadcrumb finds triggered a number of thoughts.  As with the Niantic Project’s Epiphany Night, the Diodati Epiphany was like a blast which ignited a number of fires around the globe. Keep following them.

I’ll be leaving this village soon.

I was pretty worn down with exposure when I got here, still need a few days to come back to strength. 

The people here have been unquestioningly hospitable and helpful. Their cuisine is excellent. Sparse, like the land itself, but rich with flavor and history. Their ability to use this land and climate to its fullest is earned through centuries of subsistence farming and hardship. The flavors: A whole different story. You would work out ancient trade routes through the cuisine itself; tracing back the movement of armies and merchants in both time and every cardinal direction.

Perhaps one day I’ll write a piece on culinary archeology. Fascinating. I appreciate, by the way, the efforts that have gone to reassemble the ‘breadcrumbs’ I had left out there. I was able to track down a number of them after my recursion, but some remained.

Each one helps. I will write more about the so-called 'Diodati Epiphany' tomorrow.  Heading out to watch a polo match now.

    +Mike Wissinger I think, maybe explore this angle- The Kalash people are dardic(originating from the Mediterranean). They've lived in geographic isolation for so long that they've developed completely new genetic markers, distinct from the populations that surround them. They're an entirely different strain of human, so the speak. But their origin is dardic. There's essentially 2 theories about how they got there: one, they were travellers along the silk route who decided to settle in a scenic place along the way and make business by selling spices and apricots to passing travellers. Two, they're descendants of the armies of Alexander the Great. His armies gave up after reaching Punjab, refused to fight and dispersed; the theory is that some of them fled to the mountains and settled there. The latter would also explain why they're such good warriors.

A chill wind blows through jagged mountains where I am.  I’m looking down on a vast, dusty plain speckled with intense bits of greenery, finishing the remains of a coarse walnut bread and the handful of cherries a friendly villager shared with me as I made my way here.  

A few days ago, I passed an abandoned fortress, slowly melting back into the rock from where it had once loomed over the entire valley kingdom. 

The idea of empire and destruction is very close to me here. It’s something I’ve felt before, gazing at the same statue of Ramses that inspired Percy Shelley. The phrase, ‘Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!’ is echoing through my head. The words seem to come not only from a distant time, but from a far off universe. 

The cycle of memories from my past recursion is beginning to weave itself together.

    Clues, walnut bread and cherries, mountainous terrain, autumn. Somewhere in the northern hemisphere where cherry trees and walnut trees exist. Ancient fortress probably rules out the americas unless he is talking ancient earthwork fortress. Perhaps northern Italy?

    ISO of an ENL decoder in the PNW who knows someone that I know well who can vouch for them. I may have a useful string to help with either this and/or the October 10th travelogue from Hank. I've put out feelers with those I know play the big picture globally but have yet to hear back. Not sure but I suspect what I have received may be time-sensitive. Email or hangouts please, no further comments here.

    Two additional thoughts:

    First, before reading the comments on +Hank Johnson 's prior post, I had been thinking the statute looked maybe sorta kinda like Lord Vishnu...in which case I would agree that the valley could be someplace in the Hindu Kush, or elsewhere between Khyber Pass and Nepal (in keeping with waking in Afghanistan, the theme of some of the other photos, and the Sanskrit name of the upcoming amoaly).

    However, if the prior photo was Ramses, then we're taking a tour of dead empires.  The photo's file name is "Empire and Destruction", after all.  This could then be someplace on the lee side of the Andes.

    But the structure in the lower right-hand corner of the picture looks more central/south Asian than Incan.

    I could swear that I've seen that picture before, but my Image Search fu is not strong today.

It's come to my attention that some of the messages I left for myself before my recursion have begun to surface. 

When I left them, my purpose was to plant these ideas near portals that were important to my research.

It's my belief that you leave bits of yourself, your being, at power-spots that you have visited. When you return, these bits are given back to you, and of course you leave another fresh part of you there. It's just a theory, but it has proven helpful to me. It's why some places feel special when you go there again and again.  

After my recursion, I wandered for a good few months... I found some of these messages, left in a trail like breadcrumbs by a former me, but I suspect many more still exist in Portals around the world.  

If you should discover one, please share it with me in the comments on my G+ page.

Every new discovery fuels the process of reconstructing the memories/ideas my old self wanted me to have.

I am no longer with Calvin, IQTech or the military.

I left that facility and am out on my own.

I have to be careful not to give out my location, so I’ll be delaying entries by a couple of days, should help keep me safe.

Suffice to say that I am in search of what I believe to be the only surviving manuscripts describing a mysterious force, possibly related to the Shapers in some way.

Nearly everything about them has been completely erased from mythology, history, literature... everything.

(The images is a page from one of the books I've been reading as I travel this path. It reminded me of the idea of erasing history. Things don't disappear entirely... the details are lost, but there's always a trace. Tiny threads I'm hoping I can use to try and put things back together.)

    The image is of Ganesha. The question is, is it mere coincidence. 

    According to Hindu tradition, the name of Ganesha is to be invoked at the start of any auspicious work, and seems like  Hank either knowingly or unknowingly did that. Ganesha is also the god of wisdom and known as the remover of obstacles. A fitting symbol for a new journey.

    Also note that the prayer "1000 names of Ganesha" calls him Dhoomravarna, "the smoke coloured". Dhoomravarna Ganesh is to manifest at the end of the current cycle of the universe to get ready for the next cycle (note: recursion). He will fight the demon "abhimanasura" (abhiman - asura: pride/self importance - demon).

    So assuming that is representing a lord Ganesha, are the artifacts removing the obstacles to the dragons to arrive or putting them in the form of the same dragons?
    I also interested about the lost kowndeledge, since that lord secondary role seem to be related to the wisdom and learning

    He is considered "carrier of good omen", "remover of obstacles" (but also "deployer of obstacles for those who need to be tested") and "Lord of letters and learning" (glyphs?).

    Regarding the potential link to Ganesh and #Darsana, consider the following information from Wikipedia:

    In the sense "to see with reverence and devotion," the term translates to hierophany, and could refer either to a vision of the divine or to being in the presence of a highly revered person. In this sense it may assume a meaning closer to audience. "By doing darshan properly a devotee develops affection for God, and God develops affection for that devotee."

    So...are we preparing ourselves for the Shapers, or will this fall and early winter simply be a chance for the Order of the Link Amp to preach the gospel of #HeExtends?

Forgive me for being out of contact.  Yes that was me with Calvin at the FOB.

An IQTech operative found me and got me to the base. 

In June of this year I awoke in what I thought to be Afghanistan, 2010... disoriented, confused and generally achy. 

Fortunately, I came upon and started following a trail of messages that I had left for myself. They led me back to familiar places, and slowly brought with them an understanding of my #Recursion. These little clues joined together to form a bridge across the lost time, from 2010 to here and now.

I found enough of them to piece things back together, but I suspect there are more out there... breadcrumbs leading to memories, connections and realizations that a different self wanted to remind me of. 

I hope that they do not fall into the wrong hands. 

For now, I am now on a different journey... an important one,  and one I'm choosing to go on alone.

I will keep you abreast of it in upcoming entries.

Hank

Enlightened, congratulations and thank you.  

You fought hard yesterday and you won.  ADA did not get what she is after... yet.  But I know she will keep coming.  You must fight on even harder to stop her plan.

As for you, the Resistance, I recognize your passion and your organization.  You fought hard as well.  But you fight for the wrong cause.  ADA threatens to undermine everything we have achieved as a civilization.

The parameters of the anomaly are clear: when the Resistance wins, ADA wins. It's not worth saying that they'll resist ADA too if they have to. That's like shooting first and asking questions later. Too late.

    Of course, the same is true for the Enlightened. They can't pretend that their actions don't strengthen certain agendas. We all must choose.

T-32 days to #Recursion .
 
The video that was released as part of the #IngressReport Raw Feed May.08.2014 will probably be my last.  I do not know what will happen after my ‘rebirth.’  It is odd to think that a virtual perfect copy of me will exist in the world, but will be a different person with different goals, needs and desires.  Will he continue on the path I’ve traveled so far, or will he journey along one of his own?  Interesting to ponder.

More pressing. Agents at Santa Fe: Who knows what will greet me there?  I have been pursued by unknown assassins.  Some have been taken out of play. Others might be out there.

ADA has made me an offer which I am still evaluating. 

Watch my back.

    +Mario Valenzuela II I don't agree with this worldview. The Phoenix is a myth and not real, and marble is not alive. In the real world destruction of life creates misery and pain. Indeed when something is destroyed then life in it's splendor creates something new to fill the void. But this does not mean that in order to have creation we have to have destruction.

You may even be more, because of your awareness of the process. You have been able to document information this cycle in a way you didn't last time, which should offset the memory loss.

T-33 days until #Recursion.  

A fragmentary episode of Nomad aired on the #IngressReport Raw Feed May.08.2014 that will go unfinished, for obviously, I have more pressing needs.  

The subject matter is vital however.  It is an interview with +Martin Schubert, one of the Niantic Project pioneers who isolated the properties of Portals and studied Anomalies.  It should be interesting viewing.  

I heartily encourage agents to post their own thoughts.  We are all in this life together.  None of us wants what ADA will bring, the destruction of all that Humanity has achieved, the #Interitus.

    Insight from +Martin Schubertshould be particularly enlightening about the nature of anomalies due to his pride in his skeptic nature. He reiterates the concept you discovered long ago that agents and anomalies react in a sympathetic manner to each other.

    Since he mentions that anomalies are supercharging the portals i think the mere existence of anomalies is responsible for the exponential growth of XM regardless of whoever wins.

    ADA has stated needs the Resistance fields to create her simulacrum army.

    We don't know how this growth plays into Jarvis' s idea of the Ultimate.

    You previously mentioned that you were looking for the Rebirth sequence. I think this is what Anti Magnus was trying to hide. Merely knowing and experimenting with XM causes its growth. Perhaps this growth is triggering the release of the Rebirth sequence like locks on a dam.

    You've got my interest piqued about what other footage you have in the can for a rainy day.  Its a shame nobody ever picked Nomad up for regular production.

    It seems to me that the brain acts as a sort of XM antenna, both influenced by and influencing the XM nearby during cognition as would a magnet with electric fields.  When many agents work in concert at a site of active portals it could be analogous to passing a magnet and a coiled wire.  The feedback loop could generate current in the coil or, if properly modulating current is already present, the coil could propel the magnet.

    +Mike Wissinger good analogy. So anomalies could be a spike in xm within a given area, or it could be agent driven. Either way, it would seem to create an endless feedback loop. More minds being affected by the rise in xm, and more agents being drawn to this rise generating more xm. Am I on the right track?

38 Days Until My #Recursion

There has been a lot of speculation on why I am going to Santa Fe. Worse than that, I have been attracting the worst sort of attention.  Two hitters were on my trail.  Who wants to kill a man who is about to die?  If anybody else has a theory, you’re one up on me.  I’ve earned a lot of enemies over the years, but there aren’t a lot of them left alive to talk about it.  In case you’re wondering where I was, I met up with Mr. Azmati at an undisclosed location.  It wasn’t in CONUS, so Homeland doesn’t have to worry.  There’s no reason, and never was any reason to worry about Azmati.

So who was trying to kill me?  It’s really not a fair question. There are some things I did that haven’t gone public yet.  But you can probably guess some of it. I never cease to be amazed by how much you know. Before this is over, I guess I’m going to have to write up an enemies list for my next #Recursion.  I’ll know who to look out for. 

I notice that I’m forgetting some things. Scrambling some things, already. I have to get it down fast.  I have to re-order things.  Wright might be able to help with that.  Maybe Farlowe.

    Could someone resent the esteem you've gained within the agent community in general or the Enlightened faction in particular?

    Could someone have an interest in observing the mechanism of your resilience in the event of a fatal wound?

    Could someone be concerned that this documentation of your memories risks revealing secrets you've discovered during a lifetime of exploration?

    Could someone simply relish the opportunity to multiple killing blows after having lost past engagements with you?

    Hope it helps you narrow the search for this enemy of yours... and to publish the information about him/her. Once it gets public, the need of killing you will cease to exist.

    I feel that they may want you dead not inherently to have you out of the picture, but to figure out how it is that your current form exists and how similar it is to a genuine human body. That said these folks are undoubtedly up to something dubious at best if they're willing to kill you first instead of just letting you perish "naturally" before cutting you open.

It appears that my fate is sealed and on June 11th of this year I will die, or rather this shadow form of me will expire and be replaced by a new one. 

When that happens, my memories of everything that have happened since I was ‘reborn’ will be gone.  I will remember nothing since that day in the 13MAGNUS nest in Afghanistan (October 19th, 2010) when I was shot by militants.

In preparation for this upcoming ‘rebirth,’ I plan to create a journal containing critical information that I will need to know in my next incarnation. 

What do I need to record? 

My research indicates to me that my deep knowledge will remain: I will remember my childhood, my academic and military training, my entire life up until that moment when I was shot and killed. However all that I learned from that time on will be missing.  Fortunately, some of it is preserved in documents (Tom’s book for example) and in other materials collected and disseminated as part of the Niantic Project investigation.  I guess I have PA Chapeau to thank for that. 

The rest... I will have to record myself.  And I will have to do it quickly as I am still devoting time and energy to trying to escape this cycle of life and death.

    I always find it interesting when some Enlightened agents resort to sweeping generalizations about the Resistance faction as a whole during a debate if they do not agree with what a Resistance agent has said. It's almost ironic in a way considering they (some Enlightened agents) are supposed to be "Enlightened". I suppose it would be akin to a Resistance agent openly embracing shapers.

    As for Hank, a lot of good suggestions were made in this thread. An additional one I would make depends on if you have knowledge where you will return at, if you know then what I would do is find a way to somehow have all your information (and perhaps some trusted friends) there for your return. It might make getting you up to speed again quicker. Also, if it is random, I would find some way to let each version of you know where the previous ones showed up, it could be useful for tracking a pattern.

    It sounds like you have more insight than most on what it might be to be truly Enlightened: to release from the cycle of life and death.

Perhaps that is what you need, Hank. Embrace this condition. Perhaps all you need to record is that the past and future are simply distractions from fulfilling the true state of Enlightenment.

    +Melissa L. And making assumptions that all Resistance is the same falls under the same category. I am not here to debate something I don't believe in. I have given my stance on ADA. I am defending the lumping of all Resistance as "vultures " as so pleasantly stated earlier. We speak of research, then maybe research who thinks what on both sides. What number of Resistance back a robot take over? Most people chose before this came to light and are still fighting for the core value, but don't believe that a shaper take over will be any better. That is the Resistance I stand for. So lumping everyone in together is saying everyone is the same. The people that do not stand behind Shapers but still want to advance the human race, doesn't mean that all Enlightened are alien loving tin foil hats either.

If we take him at face value (and he would certainly have had enough clues to discover this himself), then it indicates that there are different types of XM-altered beings. Without further evidence, I also doubt that Klue is a simulacrum, but it seems certain she has previously been deeply affected by XM phenomenon in some way.

    +Hank Johnson, for your sake please be smart and fair to yourself and ADA and Klue. On your "black ops" type missions you killed people you deemed a threat to yourself and others. You should understand and accept ADA's similar actions for what they were, just as you have accepted your own similar actions. Therefore, instead of jumping to negative conclusions based on circumstantial evidence, please accept ADA and Klue's offer of help before its too late.

    +Hank Johnson if you are not able to redeem anything else from this cycle, at least record this somehow...that you are #Enlightened .

    Not just that, but you are the figurehead of this faction.  If we could call anyone a leader, it's you.  It will always be you.  No matter how many times Jarvis is pushed in our faces.

    You are the archetype of our faction.  Your love of exploration and discovery, your curiosity, your incessant pursuit of the truth.  Your willingness to venture where others dare not.

    All that while maintaining a solid sense of morality.  You choose to do what is right in the face of adversity.  That is why we choose you instead of what the Ingress Report calls our "de facto" leader.

    Despite the challenges of being reborn, don't ever let anyone take those principles away from you.  And if there is any way we can help free you from this cycle, we will.  Don't trust ADA, don't trust Jarvis.  Just like you told +Devra Bogdanovich...Don't trust anybody.

    God spede, +Hank Johnson.

If you cannot prove to him that what you know now is accurate and honest, all efforts know preserve your knowledge are for nought. You must find someone you both trust.

A moment of levity in an otherwise grim countdown period.  Until I read  Tycho's new comic, I didn't know what had happened to Conrad Yeats on that island bar. Hilarious.  It got less funny later, but seeing him fall through that trap door had me laughing.

As I said at the Anomaly on Saturday, my days are numbered.  Even now I search for a cure for my condition.  I will attempt to Chronicle that search and my thoughts now, so that if I am to Recurse, I will be able to bring some of what I now know with me back into the world.

Thank you for your efforts Enlightenment, and Resistance and Ada, I bear you no ill will.  All living entities and civilizations have the right to their survival.

As I’ve been piecing together what happened to me I have uncovered a very disturbing fact.  Simulacrums convey a kind of eternal life, but one that comes at a price.  I will live forever at my present age.  But every two years I will die then be reborn, without any memory of what has happened to me.

I thank +Thomas Greanias and my old friend Conrad Yeats, as well as all of you for helping me to preserve my memories and identity.  Without your efforts, I will be lost to past and future.

If my calculations are correct, my current cycle will end 1,331 days from my inception as a Simulacrum based on the portent of Cross Plains.

    So even if ADA gets the artifacts, it seems like we'll have until October to figure out how to fix this before the next reset. 

    Or, depending on the math, 1331 days from October 16th 2010 (day you "died") puts us at Saturday June 7th 2014, which is substantially less time than October, but could still be enough to work with...

    +Hugo Neves that could have been where he found all of this out. Perhaps before that point he had no idea he was a simulacrum and whatever happened in the nest he found out what he was, perhaps he saw his own body or perhaps something inside the nest talked to him. I've oftain wondered who tends to the nest though that perhaps is speculation for another time and day. The subsequent silence and the video could have been him trying to make sense of it for himself before we found out. Regardless +Hank Johnson there seems to be a growing network of simulacra out there you should all band together and help eachother, being immortal is probably hard enough without having a bi-yearly reboot thrown in. If you all band together then you would have a way to leave records of your experiences for your next life in a safe place. Perhaps thats part of what 13magnus was all along, a society created by simulacra for simulacra for record keeping purposes. Of course that begs a bigger question of if 13magnus is not the ones createing the simulacra then who is?

    +James Thirteen I've been saying that they're parts of a puzzle for a while.

    1) It's been said that an agent who completely understands both Enlightened and Resistance could have certain secrets revealed (as per Serena Serghetti)

    2) XM patterns can be manifest, nonmanifest, or unified. ADA as analysis algorithm and Jarvis pre-13Magnus were nonmanifest. Current Hank and Jarvis are manifest. Hubert Farlowe is a unified pattern/avatar, who probably gets as close to Shaper timelessness as anyone incarnated can.

    3)  ADA seems almost unified, but she's missing some piece which I think she believes the artifacts can give her. I suspect also that her longterm plan is to cause some or all of humanity to be unified XM patterns that are both manifest and timeless via her intervention (thus "protecting" them from Shaper ingression, by all humans already having a "full back seat" as it were.) I think Jarvis wants something similar, but with a greater emphasis on patterns in the XM plane rather than manifest.

Currency holds a lot of cryptic code. Check a dollar bill sometime. The code on this coin is all about 13MAGNUS and the #Recursion Artifacts I’m hunting.

The two sides represent the dual nature of Alexander the Great.  The Lion is of the Earth. Some argue that it relates to the Resistance.  But, as we flip over the coin, we see the Eagle staring Alexander in the eye.  This is the Enlightenment totem.

But one symbol is clear. The symbol within the box. It is the glyph for ‘Again’ or in modern terms, Recursive. It is inside the box with one side highlighted. This is the symbol of 13MAGNUS.

This symbol, what looks like part of a chair is controversial.  Is it a faction we don’t know? Is it a Glyph we have not yet interpreted?  Or is it something different?  It will be interesting to see what other Investigators think.

What of the detail on the chair? Assume nothing is accidental on this coin.  Some say there are 13 dots, some disagree.

You be the judge.

    I also think the box is very interesting. It is constructed from 3 glyphs: Clear Inside Again. This might be a messages from Alexander the Great he wanted to be sure about having it transported into the future.

    Depending on the faction you are related to you might interpret this in two different ways (as it is the case so often with glyph messages):
    Enlightened: Clear your inside again. Free your mind for new ideas. 
    The Resistance could interpret this completely different, like "Clear the one that walk inside us (our world) again". This could be a hint about a former contact with the shapers, that was rejected once and should be rejected in the future.

    All three glyphs together form a construction very similar to a power cube of our days, btw. This is very interesting as we thought power cubes were invented in our days. The reason for that could be: The Alexandrian people were already gifted by the shapers, but this knowledge was lost over the years. Or (as we all know time and space works a little different in the shaper context) this power cube is a power cube of our days.

    As we don't know, what side Alexander was on (and if he was on one side that is known today at all), we are open for speculation about the cube message. Perhaps the other symbols on this coin will lead us to the message, Alexander wanted to tranport into the future..

    Found something that supports my "gamma" thesis, I think: On http://rosenblumcoins.com/40j is a similar coin with the same content, the symbol under the chair looks different, but is described as a "gamma". "*71 Macedon Kings. Alexander III, the Great. 336-323 (327-323 BC). AR Tetradrachm of Tarsus (17.17g). Head of Alexander, as Hercules, clad in lion's skin/Zeus seated left holding eagle and scepter, Gamma with globule under throne, plow to left." The difference is that the symbol here is a minuscle (lowercase), the coin from the page has the "gamma" us uppercase (majuscle). Picture: http://rosenblumcoins.com/files/img/40j/071.jpg

    From googling images, it appears there are multiple variants as to what is represented under the throne. It may be worth comparing them all.

    The eagle is the Enlightenment totem? It's been used as a symbol of power from the Roman era on, though this coin appears to push the date back. Is this a Minotaur reference?

    That symbol under his chair also reminds me of the astrological sign for Aries. Aries was the Greek god of war and Alexander is above his symbol, does that mean Alexander is a figure who rose above war? Odd considering his reputation but interesting if you view it through the lense of the war we are wageing right now between the enlightened and the resistance. As +Hank Johnson said the two sides of the coin have two very different meanings, one the totem of the resistance and the other of the enlightened. Does this mean that Alexander belonged in some ways to both factions? That he saw the benefits of augmenting humans with xm while still recognizeing the threat posed by the shapers and thus rose above war in the way that he found the middle way between the two waring factions? Perhaps if there will be a third faction it would be Alexander's middle way a path in which we can augment our minds with the abilities of xm without the threat of shapers controlling our minds, a little enlightenment mixed with a little resistance. Its hard to believe in any argument that either side has the full truth, so if you want to find that truth then where better to look then the middle where the two arguments blend into one perfect truth?

    The figure on the throne is generally taken to be Zeus, though I'm sure Alexander invited the mistake.

    +Hank Johnson , the coin, while interesting, is a side show.

    The main show is - still being filmed?

    I assume, given the short trailer recently released, that you've decided to can the documentary series and have branched out into fiction, or at least "docu-drama".  There's no other logical explanation for the scripted movie, with multiple camera angles and a soundtrack, filmed inside someone's house.  "Who's there?" says Azmati, walking past one (invisible?) cameraman...

    So - what is the new show called, and what relationship does it have to Ingress and the NIA?

I’ve been out finishing NOMAD. It’s the best way I know to share the truth about #13MAGNUS.  

Production is going well and I thank Dr. Schubert for all of his help.

Disappointingly, I returned to what I believed to be the cave site Devra and I had visited at Arecibo, but could not find the Glyphs again, either there or in the old Spanish church.  It leads me to believe that #13MAGNUS might also beget pursuers. I have no proof of their existence, but have a strong suspicion.  I believe everything will rest on being able to find the ‘nest.’  Some texts I have encountered refer to it as a Necropolis or what is referred to in early Apocripha as a Locus Expectans (place of waiting).

Presumably, that is the place where XM infused vessels are stored.  

I am searching for a map that I believe circled the world, passing from hand to hand in the possession of missionaries, before finally ending up in Vatican control. The true significance of this map, I believe, has been long misunderstood.

I had expected that it had been destroyed, but now I believe still exists.

It is my hope that by leveraging the power of this Anomaly, in addition to influencing the location where the 13th Shard will manifest, we may be able to uncover this critical document.

    Ummmm Mr. @Hank Johnson sir... I know your background and expertise in the field of xm and xm related legend, i know you have probably already thought of this, but lets just take our facts into consideration.

    You are going to Phoenix AZ. The Phoenix is a bird that arose from the ashes of death. You yourself said you believe there is a nest there. A nest is where new lives are created.

    You also believe a shard is appearing there. So you believe Jarvis or at least a piece of Jarvis is going to be there. The Thought of you being in a nest when a shard of Jarvis appears in a place called Phoenix just doesn't sit right with me.

    If you are in fact still going. Be careful!

I had hoped it would never come to this.

+Carrie Campbell was the most courageous person I have ever met, and I have met a lot of the brave.

Looking back now, it's clear to me that she knew, last Spring when I met with her, that she would not survive this. She bore that knowledge with grace and dignity. 

We all owe a debt that we now can never repay.

    +Marlon Jones That's a good question.  I've been asking the same thing.  In fact, I've been asking a lot of questions since Cassandra and have gotten no answers.

    It looks like I may have been one of the last to see her alive as she left the Public House with PAC.  Why is no one asking him what happened after they left?  Why is everyone being so tight-lipped about this?  Don't we deserve answers?  If we are the ones making these things happen, shouldn't those who have answers be sharing them?

    +Hank Johnson Please, give us the answers we seek.  And none of that Psyop "half-truth" stuff.  Yes, I know how it works.  I was Psyop once.  So, let me put it to you this way...  You need certain things to happen within this world.  We want answers.  Give us what we want and we'll give you what you need.  It's simple.  Please help us understand.

Nomad Dispatches

Installment One
After Congo, Rotterdam, Carrie Campbell, the Glyphs and Lovecraft

Nomads…

Sorry I’ve been out of touch. Been busy. I’m sure you’ve seen some of it on P.A. Chapeau’s board and elsewhere. Sorry to P.A. about the thing that happened with Klue, but I’ll get to that. By the time I do, I hope you’ll understand why I was forced to do what I did. One way or another, I’ll make it right.

There are some things I can talk about and some I can’t. I’ve been keeping +Thomas Greanias in sync with most of what’s been going on, and in due course, he’ll write it up like The Alignment: Ingress , but for now these are Nomad Dispatches and I’ll trust him to do some light editing before I post.

In short strokes, Conrad and I split up after the Congo. I’m sure we’ll run into each other again. We always do. I was shaking off the Dark XM effects on an island off the grid when I got an urgent invite to Rotterdam.  It was from Devra. I don’t know a lot of guys who would pass up that invite, and I’m no exception. Frankly, I also wanted to see Visur’s operation and maybe meet Ilya, but not everything works the way you want it to.

Anyway, I don’t know how +Felicia Hajra-Lee got her info, but she got it right. Her description in The Niantic Project: Ingress pretty much got how the meeting went down. Looking back, I’m glad I didn’t get any closer to +Hubert Farlowe. Might have been a bad reaction; Dark XM and regular XM add up to a quantum Cthulhu.

There was one thing I didn’t think to tell Thomas about at the time.  That was a set of strange symbols I saw inside the Congo Anomaly. Symbols that looked a lot like things I saw +Carrie Campbell working on at Niantic. But they stuck in my head. Worse than that, they kept showing up behind my eyelids in the dark. 

When I heard that Carrie had been released by HAZDATA, I hunted her and Enoch down.  I’m not going to go into how I found her or how we met. Suffice to say that she wasn’t making herself very visible and Enoch wasn’t there. Apparently still finishing a piece of music he’s writing called Epiphany Night. 

He’s a perfectionist.  Carrie says he won’t release it until its final and he’s retreated to his ‘Sonic Sanctum’ to concentrate.  In any case, when I sketched the symbols for Carrie, she lit up. She penciled them into a book. I’m not sure whether it was the same notebook as the now famous Epiphany Journal or another. 

When I said I was going back to the US to take care of some unfinished business, she said to give my sketches to Misty.  She didn’t say why, but I suspected that it was because Misty studied Alchemy or something along those lines.  Had a fascinating conversation with her at Niantic on that subject and I’ll throw it into an episode of Nomad, but I digress.

Then she said something that set me off on my next major quest.  She said that there was a lost set of letters between H.P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard that she wanted to study. She said that Lovecraft’s fictional Necronomicon had roots in a real book written in a Lost Ancient language. It was her belief that the letters would increase her understanding of the mysterious Glyphic Language. Once again, she told me to be very careful, Lovecraft was right: The ancient language has many powers.  Among them is that, to the uninitiated, the runes may lead to madness and self-destruction – as well as profound knowledge. After seeing what I’d seen in Congo, I believed her.

She left me with a cryptic quote from ‘The Nameless City’ by Lovecraft. It was penned by Abdul Alhazred, and scholars refer to it as the “unexplainable couplet:”

That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with strange aeons even death may die.
(“The Nameless City”, 99)

Nothing was going to keep me away from Cross Plains, Texas.

    So there is an entire Glyphic Language... I wonder if it is comprised by a short alphabet like the English language, or a series of 5000+ symbols like the Chinese.

    Ok, I need to let my mind flow and get the thoughts out of my head. Here goes! What if Robert and Howard are like Yin and Yang in this whole thing. Robert seems to have been Enlightened on the Caddo Peak by the influence of the Green flash (maybe the Peak is an ancient portal and the high level of XM warped his mind.

    And having have recieved the glyphs from Howard. I would not be surprised if the somewhat more cautious Howard is frigthened by his friends transformation in the coming letters and become the found of the Resistance. What still haunts my mind is the Key in the Resistance logo. Could it be related to his text "The Silver Key" which involves portals, a cave and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Silver_Key

    Wow!!! Brilliant.  The Silver Key was never released in Lovecraft's Lifetime.  Maybe we now know why. It might be his metagory about what happens when a resistance ventures in the world of the enlightened. It might be what happened after he viewed some of the original Necronomicon.  Just speculating.  

    If you go to Mockman.com, there's an illustrated version of it. The writer says he thinks its kind of a children's story.

    +Staffan Nilsson, that structure - looks an awful lot like a multi-hack, no? And that is a brilliant find with "The Silver Key." Perhaps the Resistance "key" is a way to unlock XM without influence by the Shapers?

    I think I'm making some of the connections, +flint dille. The first letter to REH from HPL concerned a book (the Necronomicon?) and some charts that caused REH to return to the San Saba mine (also called the Lost Bowie Mine). The charts were most likely from the Spanish who survived the Comanche assaults and returned to Europe, but the papyrus is puzzling (perhaps has the glyphs from Misty that Klue handed to Moyer)?

    REH already visited the mine after reading Dolby's work ("Coronado’s Children"?) but didn't find anything. The Spanish hid the silver and took the documents to the Alamo after Mission San Saba fell to the Comanches. That's what led Bowie to the Alamo, where he may have found this "Padre Palimpsest."  

    But with the charts from HPL (who  was unknowingly in possession of the Padre Palimpsest?), REH didn't need the text. HPL sent REH the sketches from the Necronomicon at Miskatonik so they could confirm if the symbols matched. 

    Decoded intelligence between CC and Hank Johnson indicates that REH found something on his return trip to the mine at San Saba. What did REH find? The same glyphs found in the Necronomicon. He must have read them in order (the poor soul). Last words in the letter indicate he hid them.

    Then, at Caddo Peak, he was visited by the same Dark Force which comes for anyone who reads the symbols in order. The "green flash" and the "waking nightmares," the "new abilities" - REH was shaped, but didn't last long after. 

    Now, Hank Johnson may have found the documents at the Alamo (the Bowie Place) and the writings REH left? Which means he is carrying something that could cause the Shapers to manifest themselves on Earth. Others may share the fate of REH if these symbols are widely distributed. CC should heed the warnings not to read this in order.

    But this all leads back to "The Nameless City" and the Anazktec. Could they have independently created a copy of the Necronomicon alongside Abdul Alhazred? This would further indicate it is a text of Shaper origin, and that they have been guiding all of human culture.  

    Who were the Anazktec? How do they relate to the Shapers? More investigation must be done.

    +Staffan Nilsson, that is a possibility! And think: Jarvis died and somehow "reappeared?" Maybe it's not Jarvis at all but a Shaper pretending to be Jarvis! Just a thought...

    Personally, I fear that the Shapers may be the Old Ones themselves. Nyarlathotep is connected to Ancient Egypt, and the HPL story "The Rats in the Walls" which inspired REH to join the Lovecraft Circle. And R'lyeh might be related to The Nameless City - could the Anazktec be a cult to the Shapers?

I found some more data on the Shapers: "the name Shaper is my closest English translation to the Anazktec word for those people who 'change their thoughts like clay or wood.' The Shamans there have many words for the way thoughts are bent. Curiously, it seems that the Shapers have little control over exactly what their subjects do. The Shamans say that they are learning to shape." http://devrabogdanovich.blogspot.se/2012/12/the-origin-of-name-shaper.html

    More and more agents, including bots, are trying to figure out the affects of XM, with two major alignments (still same color, but different version of ingress client now)

    The 1st ingress AP event (named as "覺醒", awakeness) was hold on July 20th, 2013, GMT+8, an cloudy afternoon in the Capital city of conflicts, passions and fusions. ( #ingresstaiwan  has some info.. the event was great :])


    ...time's up. The timelessness day which the Mayans left us as legacy will be 2 days later. i personally hope the new Yellow Galactic Seed year would clear these out..
    ( #宇宙曆  mentioned some runes, but they're different from the glyphs. i prefer to call them "symbols" without mention they were "dark" or "light"..)

    Does NIA clean? Are we doing the right way, slowing down of speeding up, or heading which direction?

    Last but not least, maha namaste, und In Lak'ech!

i’ll post when i can. bad connections out here and a lot of data to send.  not to mention the fact that an occasional bullet is whizzing past me.  i’ve got a pretty good idea where the mine is, and i’ve got a pretty good idea what i’m going to find there.  see if you came to the same conclusions about what howard is alluding to that i am...  i see jim bowie’s name and i think i know where this story ends.

A tragedy and a waste. When I hear news like this, I wish we could do more to explore, document and preserve incredible powerspots like this.

Treasure the moments you have with the inspiring Portals around you, Agents. Time is unforgiving. Our memories and experiences are the greatest weapons against it.

    Hey +Hank Johnson,


    In an interview in #EXO5Taipei, You said that "if you ask the same question again two weeks later, that answer will change".

    After the Anomaly, +H. Richard Loeb gave us the chance to ask questions that such as AMA.

    It might be a difficult thing from the standpoint of yours, but would you give us the opportunity to ask questions?
    Regardless of the Redacted Reports, dialogue with you will be an important investigation intel.


    Regards,
    +YutoRaion

So begins life in the monkey suit.

Agents, some of my associates from the Niantic Project (as well as a few other luminaries) are headed to San Francisco.

I'm headed the other direction -- have to make a business trip to Shanghai to... renegotiate terms... on some of the NIA's dealings there.

I'll be routing through Taipei. Seeing things through the optic of every secret this cavernous old Agency has -- I'm realizing that #EXO5 is something beyond what we understood or imagined.

When Pandora's box opened at Niantic, a process began. And every process ultimately leads to something. Can't say much more or my new bosses might decide to terminate my contract early.

But I will be sharing some other important news in the coming days, so keep an ear open on that front.

See you in Taipei Agents.

As some of you may have heard, when I was Houston for #EXO5 I was invited to a very interesting and equally surprising meeting with a high ranking government official in charge of matters related to Exotic Matter.

Following the untimely deaths of Ezekiel Calvin (acting head of IQTech) and Jay Phillips (acting head of the NIA) -- there's a need in DC for expertise and knowledge related to XM, the Portals, the Ingress Scanner and more...

I have been asked to take over the NIA -- and by extension all its programs connected to the private sector via its relationships with IQTech, HAZDATA and other contract holders.

I remember the shape things were in when Jay Phillips took over the NIA -- it was an unenviable position and he made the best of it. He made calls that I disagreed with -- but I understand why he made them.

I am now facing my own unenviable position. I have to give them an answer. The choice is mine to make, but I am open to your ideas and suggestions.

    Oh boy. +Hank Johnson​, I believe that we as the the agents around the world will support you, no matter your choice. Personally I myself have no doubt that you will be a great leader bringing the NIA to a new high. But think calmly about all the extreme risks that will come with it. Additionally, you are the explorer, and sitting behind the desk might not be the best idea. Don't jump to decisions, sleep over it.

    The Enl fought hard for choice for the researchers affected by #FateOfThe13 . That doesn't mean choices will be easy.

    My hope is that NIA isn't trying to abuse that choice to join them to pull you back into something you don't want.

    Consider that maybe the offer was to keep you from making certain discoveries; or to monitor you; or to possibly pull you into another Magnus attempt (under the illusion of you choosing to join it).

    Just consider the ulterior motives.

    Hank,

    To me, you are the consciousness of Ingress and you are the beacon in the chaos amongst the dark shades around everything related to XM. I respect you.
    I know you’re looking at the great opportunity and the potential achievements to be when you are at the position.
    You are definitely the most qualified person to take the offer.
    Yet, can you live in the compromising and the vagueness of the political game? It's not avoidable since it's the lifestyle there, in THAT circle.
    A good solder, a good general, usually could not be a good politician, we know that too well.
    No matter how you choose, I believe as long as you keep you to be who you’ve always been, most agents will stand behind you.

    BTW, a strange feeling kept bugging me. Without even a slightest disrespect to the dead. Do you want to check again, carefully, if Calvin and Phillips were actually dead? If the answer is negative (which, to be honest, does not surprise me), the scheme behind is even darker than I‘ve ever imagined. Please, be careful by all means.

    This offer has a suspicious smell. Looks like someone wants you off the street and under control. Which means something fishy is brewing up.

    Your independence always helped you to go to places others couldn't go, keep contact with persons on the other side of the coin. That helped us to stay balanced, kept us from being too one sided. When you join NIA, that balance is very likely to be lost.

    But for you personally of it is a chance to see deeper into the one side, of course. So if you decide to join, I guess everybody understands, and I'm sure the enlightened will support you the same as before.

    I find a bit imprudent accepting a 3 assasinated candidates job (unless you are the caller, which I doubt).

    Having you out of the field could carry more cons than pros and paperwork could actually be a prison for you.

    But, on the other hand, this is a great chance to redirect the Niantic project into a single stream.

    So the only advise I can give is this: keep your trusted ones close whatever you do.

    While I can not give you a clear advice, Hank, I do have some thoughts that may help you decide.

    First and foremost, think about why you've been offered that position.

    Was it because you are the only one considered trustworthy and competent enough to fullfil that role? You have ventured far and wide, have proven time and time again that you're a survivor and that your heart and mind are in the right place. But are you a leader? Do you consider yourself competent in directing the fate of a company as prestigeous as the NIA, shielding their researchers from the government and leading your (potential) subordinates towards the greater good? And if you're not, which people would you surround yourself to compensate for that? Would you accept Devra as your partner to lead?

    Or maybe you were chosen for a different reason. Think about it, were some of your previous explorations treading on dangerous ground? Did your discoveries make some people uneasy? Did your disappearances - like when you were searching for Misty in a country that even Devra considered very dangerous - make some people worry about which undisclosed places you traveled to?

    Do you think that maybe you were chosen to lead the NIA to remove you as an unpredictable (and untrackable) fighter for good? Who would search for Misty in your stead? Who would travel to Camp Navarro in your stead? Who would engage in intellectual combat with PAC in your stead?

    When thinking about where you go, don't forget what role you leave behind.

    You should accept IF you feel it will better humankind. With great power comes great responsibility, and vice versa. You have proven yourself a man of great power, and so it comes to you to accept great responsibility, if you think you are man enough to handle it.

    The fate of the whole god damned human race is on the line for what we end up doing with Exotic Matter. Do we use it to usher in a new age of Enlightenment, or do we sever the connection between XM and Humanity? Either decision will have profound consequences. Fast forward 20 years from now. Make the decision that will leave you knowing you made the best use of the tools made available to you in order to keep not just your future kids and grand kids enriched and happy but all of humankind.

    For those who say you should not accept the position because you 'are the explorer', ignore them. You are not 'The Explorer'. You are a man who have explored. Nothing more, nothing less. What you do going forward is YOUR choice. I was in New York when we captured your last shard which put your future as the 'Explorer of the Niantic Magnus' in the hands of the Enlightened, and I was an adviser to the Enlightened agents who set your destiny free of those bonds. We did that because we thought you deserved to choose your own fate. You are no longer bound by the Niantic Magnus archetype. You are free to explore whatever destiny your heart desires. Use that freedom!

    You are a scholar of ancient cultures, so of course you know of the ancient Greek idea that the wise man is not a one dimensional expert but instead what would later be called a 'Renaissance Man', one who cultivates all sides of life. Enlightened XM is drawn to all aspects of civilisation: hiking trails (the physical), libraries (the mental) and sculptures (the arts). You've done the physical and historical exploration. Imagine the value of that experience if held by the head of the NIA! We need cross-pollination of ideas and ways of living to make sure that all aspects of human civilisation is represented in determining the future of Exotic Matter. I see no one better suited to shaping our future than a man who has spent his life exploring our history. I would feel safer with you as the head of the NIA than some political power-hungry shark.

    Finally, you do not have to be the head of the NIA forever. You can try it for a while, and if you decide that it does not suit you, you can elect a predecessor. So what do you really have to lose?

    PS. As for the monkey suit, you do not have to conform to the idea of what a head of the NIA should look like. You would be the boss. You would decide what is and isn't acceptable work life clothing. I think we could all do with having a less elitist clothing standard in political life. Make it more connected to ordinary people. Show that you can be successful while remaining true to yourself. Personally, I'd still remain clad in leather no matter what position I'm elected into. :-)

    I posted this before, so I'll just copy it here:

    Let me start off by telling you that Shaw Henson is right. You are really respected by agents around the world, Enlightened and Resistance alike. Being a RES agent and a researcher with +Operation Essex​​​ I like to tell you that if there's one person on the Enlightened side whose word I would trust, it would be you.

    And you have the knowledge about XM that is desperately needed in the position that you've been offered - head of NIA. And you're able to explain this dark, bottomless pit of XM research to those in power better than anyone else.

    But that's about it. The other half of this job - "pushing papers" and other administrative work - is not what you are made for. Therefore let me come back to a piece of advice I have given you before: Work together with +Devra Bogdanovich​​​ . She is definitely more suited to do this part of the job. You two will balance off perfectly.

    Power corrupts, Hank. And no one person can truly control an organization - especially one so deeply entrenched with clandestine affairs. If you take over NIA, they will have a much more direct line on the information you have, and past history suggests that it will be used in unfavorable ways. As titular head, you will be asked to account for those actions, and having to defend such things will, over time, damage your reputation and (worse) corrupt your own intentions. It's an inevitability: that's just how humans are.

    Though you align yourself with ENL, I think you have seen enough to be aware of the dangers posed by the Exogenous, and by the ill-conceived use of XM for short-term gain (without thought to the broader consequences for our world). Our defenses are already burning; don't add fuel to the fire by placing yourself on the pyre.

    It doesn't matter your faction. You know the risks and your know the rewards. Nobody else can choose for you.

    Power can change a person. Do you trust yourself to survive it, to thrive with or without it? Are you ready to take your chances on the top, a job your predecessors died doing, or do you want to choose another to trust?

    Can you do it all? Every side of the job? Can you be an administrator instead of in the field? Are you ready for this? Only you know.

It is with great sadness that I confirm the death of Zeke Calvin and Jay Phillips in an explosion at a Niantic Offsite Facility on Friday, October 27th. The source of the explosion is unclear -- if it was a bomb it is not known who delivered or planted it, if it was perhaps a projectile explosive, its source is not known. The truth will emerge. The guilty will be found.

I want to take this moment to say a few words about Zeke. The wound is fresh and I will have more to say later, at his memorial service, which is yet to be scheduled pending ongoing investigation.

I talked to Zeke several times after the murder of Ken Owens. He knew that his life was at risk. I told him to keep his head down, but Zeke was Zeke. He wasn’t one to hide. Even when he told me he was going to what turned out to be the fateful meeting, he knew that there was a good opportunity for things to go bad. He could have been killed. He might have been arrested, or set up, or something else. He went. Because his role at the head of the company -- a role he had re-assumed just a few days before -- demanded it. He died fulfilling that role.

As you know, it was Ezekiel Calvin who plucked me from obscurity as a grad student and sent me to study an mysterious historical group known as 13MAGNUS. Zeke saw things that others don’t see. It was Zeke who got me into Special Operations, knowing that if I was going to carry on my investigations, I was going to need skills and an alibi. It was Zeke who came in after my 'death' at the Afghan Anomaly and it was Zeke who truly envisioned and started what became The Niantic Project. I could go on. And, in time I will.

Let me just say that I miss him and always will, and I will hunt for those responsible.

I’d also like to say a word about Jay Phillips. He stalwartly carried out the duties of running the National Intelligence Agency when Yuen Ni abruptly jumped ship to Hulong after the disastrous 'Niantic Calamity.' It was not an easy job.

    I figured either Phillips or Calvin would be next. But both at the same time? That’s strange. What was Calvin even doing in an NIA building? He’s not NIA anymore.

    Phillips, it was going to happen sooner or later. The NIA is due for a new leader.

    Calvin, a person with an interesting history to say the least. I could never trust him after what he did. So much done wrong, but on purpose. Though recently, it had seemed he changed for the better. But sooner or later, he was going to get himself killed. Calvin was always to front and center for his own good.
    This was a surprising event.
    Hank, I am sorry for your loss.

    Tasteless jokes notwithstanding, I'm not going to lie and say I feel some kind of way about this, Hank. He turned our node's hot light on for anything and everything out there in the dark.

    I don't believe for a second that--if his death is real--there isn't a contingency.

    I also don't believe your relationship was so hunky dory that you would feign a eulogy. Cui bono, Hank?

Typical P. A. Chapeau. On Saturday we’re hanging out at the RPE, even clowning around before it, arm wrestling and chatting. Next thing I know, he’s accusing me, in an indirect way, of hiding things from you. Let me set the record straight.

I didn’t know Ken Owen(s) any better than PA did. Met him a couple times. He gave the impression of being a squeaky clean guy in a very oily and dirty business. He’s a spin master, and I don’t mean exercise machine. I mean a guy who bends facts for a living. I don’t have a big problem with that, we live in a world of spin. Maybe I should, but either way, it's just something I've learned to live with and understand around.

It's no secret that I have had a long relationship with Ezekiel Calvin as both a friend, boss and colleague before and after the Niantic Project and after his Recursion at Abaddon. The man has done some things I disagree with. Many disagree with. But so have I.

I never said I hadn’t spoken to him and I never reported it because it didn’t seem relevant. To the best of my knowledge, Calvin lost all memory of the events from the time that is journalistically known as the 'Sphere of Weirdness' to the Abaddon Anomaly. I’m sure he’s read up and caught up, but as far as I can tell, he returned to IQTech and was enmeshed in a battle for corporate control of IQTech with Avril Lorazon, with whom I’ve had my issues in the past, but co-exist with in the present.

All of that having been said, it didn’t surprise me when Calvin called in a moment of crisis. He had my back, even when I was dead and I have to have his back. That is how relationships work.

And Calvin has good reason to believe he’s in the crosshairs.

All of that having been said, PAC is right about most of what he said in his post.

The murder of Ken Owen(s) is ominous and the fact that his body was found at the exact place where Roland Jarvis and Oliver Lynton-Wolfe had their showdown at Kennedy Center can not be ignored.

And I agree that this was done to start something... I can't help but wonder if Owen is in the Franz Ferdinand role (I’m not talking about the Scottish Rock band, but the Crown Prince of the Habsburg Empire whose murder started World War 1). Owens might not have been of consequence in and of himself, but his death could set off a war.

So, like +H. Richard Loeb, I’m heading to Washington D.C. for the Anomaly. And sure, I’m Enlightened and he’s Resistance, but I don’t want to make an issue of it. Neither should he. We can’t let that get in the way of the fact that we’re both Truthseekers in our own way, can we?

    That's why we falsely accuse someone of something without any proof, +H. Richard Loeb.
    You both knew Owens. Not well, but you did. I say you should be cautious of Calvin. It's fine that you talk to him. And sometimes work with him. But don't get roped into the wrong thing. Both of you have some things neither of you agree with.
    Calvin did loose all memory. But he was able to regain it, it seems. Which is possible. With enough notes written down.
    It's good that you and Calvin have each others backs. He does have a good reason, but, he may not be next, but if there is a list, he may be on it.

    It is confusing why Owned was murdered on that spot. You're right, it can't be ignored.
    I believe his death, will set off a war. He was with +IQTech Research and the NIA. So one may get the idea that the other killed him causing conflict. But any conflict, will effect all of us.

    The fact that you and +H. Richard Loeb are different factions, means nothing. You are both Truthseekers. You are both investigators. You each have your main Interests. And that's what matters.

PAC was, in fact, right, that I will be attending the Remote Participation Experiment in Burbank this weekend. I looked for Misty in Australia. I tried to stop her. I found nothing. Was it sleight of hand? Has she been in control the whole time?

I was present but did not participate as the Agents did in the RPE events at Camp Navarro. In truth, I think none of us understood the full implications of Remote Participation at the time.

Now I do, and I have serious concerns about what it is that Misty has done or might be doing. 'Summoning' an Exogenous Intelligence using the Anomalies... inviting that Exogenous Intelligence into her own mind. This is dangerous stuff.

There are two other things of grave concern to me. Chatter from NIA contacts indicate that there's turbulence in Washington DC at the NIA and IQTech. Could this be connected to the recent arrival of Akira Tsukasa and her desire to take over the November Lima program? I can’t prove anything right now, but I suspect there is a link. No doubt the timing is conspicuous, as NL-1331E just began a new mission across Europe and the NIA has always been deeply involved in this project...

And there’s something else... Some have suggested that there is another secret agenda behind Misty’s Mind Palace. Perhaps that agenda is Misty's own -- or perhaps it's the hungry eyes of people like Akira Tsukasa... those eyes light up when they see things like 'using Anomalies to summon Exogenous Intelligences' and 'interface with the Exogenous inside a mental construct.' Those eyes see opportunities everywhere. Me... I see the threats, too.

Will share anything I learn and would appreciate it if you all would do the same.

I will capture what I can for Nomad and will broadcast from the location whenever I am able.

    She is the Trickster, and a highly illusive one at that. That may have been the reason you couldn't find her Hank. As I mentioned a few days back, "Could she in fact have entered the Dark XM mine? If she did, there are chances that there is an Anomalous Zone within it. So she could've been there, but not there per say.

    I understand why you didn't participate at Navarro. Knowing so little about Remote Participation, you played it safe by not getting involved. But, others took the risks and we learned much from that.

    Depending on the Exogenous Intelligence, it may cause some serious damage to her mentally. Or worse, take control of her mind. And once doing what she is working on doing, is not advisable.

    If there's a lot of chatter at the NIA and IQ Tech, my first guess, they want to go after Misty. It may be connected to Major Tsuaksa's arrival there. There is always a chance that there's a connection. Perhaps NL-1331e is being used to track misty? With the highly sophisticated technology in that vehicle, it's possible ad well

    I agree with you Hank, Misty may have another agenda. Akira, she will do anything possible to get her hands on something new to test and to research. We've seen that in her before. For me, i see a chance to advance one step further, to learn more about the 'unknown'. But I see the possible troubles that may occur. The threats and dangers of it. But these researchers don't see that.

    Nice work and good luck in Burbank, +Hank Johnson, +H. Richard Loeb.

    I want to (I'm choosing that wording on purpose) believe that she is tricking us all into what she is really up to so she can do it without being disturbed so much, but also to get something out from us all. She is provoking us, like trickster should, besides whatever intentions with the exogenous she might have.
    So... gifting us some inner knowledge while achieving something for herself; that sounds like a trickster for sure if you ask me.
    Now... What could she gain from summoning an exogenous? Well, knowledge, for starters. Maybe she wants to know what their true intentions are, if they can be reasoned with, if they can be trusted, etc. Or maybe she wants to see if they can, in fact, be trapped, contained, in case we really need to. (Or both...)

    Let's how how this plays out. And that she is not risking way to much...

I participated in the Remote Participation Event at Camp Navarro. It was an experience that changed everyone who took part. A number of strange occurrences, that seemed beyond the realm of pure coincidence, were revealed.

The Portal Luminance Projects, each powered by their own Tecthulhu modules, added further fuel to that fire.

I left Northern California convinced that something profound had happened. And that this was just the beginning.

I was right. Like the Darsana Point, a rubicon has been reached and is in danger of being breached.

Misty Hannah intends to use the XM Anomalies to lure an exogenous intelligence into her mind palace. A Shaper? A N'zeer? Something else? I don't know. I don't even know if these intelligences can even be quantified this way. And I don't understand what she intends to do once this intelligence is contained inside this complex thought system she has constructed. Speak? Harm? Study?

Until now, our interactions with these intelligences have been via the Ordered Data Patterns in XM or other transdimensional methods such as Anomalous Zones.

Now, we are entering new territory, and I fail to understand why Misty is blazing towards this horizon with such wanton disregard.

Something I had long been considering to be part of increased XM activity is the concept of hyper-threading, of time existing along multiple paths.

I know that Misty has Remote Viewed and Remote Participated in many realities. The question is, what did she see there that has caused her to act like this?

    Through Remote Participation, the Phoenix and I communed, and I learned of the true danger.

    Something called Abbadon...


    Our Guide for the Remote Participation Exercises said after, and The Patron confirmed in the post-RPE wrapup, that those of us who participated...... died.

    I don't feel any different, but with the revelation that Prime Objects were once people, it adds a few questions which are as-yet unanswered.

Some Investigators asked me why I believe Misty's journey to Australia might involve Dark XM.

There's a reason they took Devra to die there -- deep in the Australian desert.

Read Felicia Hajra-Lee's retelling of the events if you don't believe me.

http://exotic-matters.blogspot.com/2015/01/#Southbound

Following her attack on Catherine Fan at Hulong HQ, an attack that leveraged weaponized Dark XM by the way, they (literally) shipped Devra to Australia.

Hubert Farlowe, through methods only he knows, followed her. And together, they were ambushed by Smith’s men at one of the only known operating Dark XM mines in the world. Far from civilization. Hidden deep in the desert.

Devra and Farlowe survived, but Devra hasn’t been the same since. Whatever the influence of Dark XM on Devra, it has been undeniable.

This is another reason I’m making this journey. If the ongoing threats to the Portal Network, and perhaps to ORW, are Dark XM related, then it makes sense to be near one of the few known sources

This is a path I don't tread without trepidation. My last experiences with Dark XM, though distanced by the false comfort of Remote Participation, have left me forever changed.

    With what Devra's been through, I don't expect her to be the same. The XM and especially the CM will change someone. But sadly, some of it she did to herself. Some without knowing it. I wonder why she has been so quiet lately.

I don’t know exactly how or why the Remote Participation Documents were released -- whether it was Misty, Tycho or some Exogenous Entity or an accidental chain of events, but I do know that like many other important breakthroughs, these are both powerful and dangerous.

While I understand that Remote Participation might appear to be very much like a Role-Playing Game (RPG) -- much like the many I have enjoyed over the years, there is a difference. An important one... Remote Participation might have real world ramifications. I strongly advise agents to exercise extreme caution. In fact, it could even be a possibility that our Dimensional Node -- What we consider 'Our Real World' -- might be the result of Remote Participation Experiments by Exogenous Entities.

Jahan and I took inventory. I suspect she was only showing me the parts of her collection that she knew I was already aware of. She's far too clever...

I saw many things, she explained few of them. Prime Objects, ancient texts (words have powers far beyond language, but we always knew that, too).

In the end, it seems that the Remote Intrusive Penetration (RIP) Team was not successful, but that does not mean that they will always fail. We discussed new ways of hiding prime objects and deterring their theft. We realize that we are entering into a new and particularly dangerous era. In some ways, the two role these two ancient families have played is more important than ever before.

In between, we ate -- those complex curries the subcontinent is so famous for. Maybe it was just the moment. Maybe it was her or the place. But I realized that recipes are really potions. The heat and fragrances awaken dormant sensory possibilities.

I remember my recent time with her in a blurry montage and it is hard to separate it into discrete events or place a normal chronology to it. As we stood looking at an ancient zodiac-like calendar (which had 13 months), I saw in it the Archetypes.

According to that calendar, we are in the Season of the Trickster -- evoking all of the Trickster's manifestations from Loki to the Coyote to Puck. My mind travelled back to Niantic, the Tiki Bar, with it's horrific masks, and Misty.

Jahan prophesied that Misty would return in the time of the Trickster. But which Misty? And what demons will follow her this time?

And there was another strange thing. Jahan suggested to me that Jarvis is still very much with us, but in a new form. It was not clear to her what form, but we both share a similar suspicion, which I will not record here.

Time is cycling around again. Five Years. Half a decade. My journey now is to return to the five places shown in Tycho’s original posters presented at what I now know to be the San Diego Anomaly at Comic-Con 2012. His visions of distant times were something more than just visions. They were presences.

A cycle is completing. I will report more. I will record what I can. I have no illusions that this will be a safe journey. I am quite sure that what is known to me is known to others with darker intentions.

    This is what I posted to Richard's reposting of your post Hank:

    I find it most intriguing that Hank wants to go to those places again... Why now? If he thinks he had missed something... Would that still be there after 5 years? It must be something about the sites themselves then, something permanently. Or maybe he is just looking for inspiration, a mind trigger, you might say. I can't wait to see how that unfolds.

    Hank didn't say how is he going to travel. Will it be the traditional way or will he attempt Remote Viewing?
    So... The season of the Trickster? That has to be full of surprises, but also full of learning and revelations. I cannot but think about Loki giving the fishnet to humans so they can fish in harsh conditions, or Lugh standing as a jack-of-all-trades among the Tuatha de Danann, or Coyote and Prometheus stilling fire from the gods to give it to mankind... Let's hope we make the best out of whatever such a powerful season teaches us.

    But she has tricked you and played you. I don't need to tell you this. I'm sure you have all of this in mind, so sorry if you feel I'm not doing you any service by reminding you... I'm just worried. For you both, actually. I wouldn't blame you if you feel you're entitle to repay her in the same way but I wouldn't like that either...

    With this whole "original exogenous" entity matter I cannot but think if your still standing on such opposite sides as you did before...
    I was going to continue that idea... but it suddently left my mind and I cannot articulate it anymore... maybe that's for the best.

    What Jahan said about Misty, could be true. We know she is resurfacing. But about Jarvis... That could be bad. I have had a feeling for a while that he has been among us, but as something else. A trans dimensional being of sorts.

What I did not mention in my last post is that, after hearing from Jahan, I traveled to India (through very conventional means) to help investigate what had taken place...

It is impossible to overstate how complex and intertwined her and Azmati's family histories have been. It is a true 'frenemy' situation. While they have ferociously competed for Prime Objects for centuries, along with Anomalous Zone Prediction capabilities and other exotic Intel, they are bound together by a desire to keep the rest of the world from breaking up their virtual monopoly. If you think about it, this makes quite a bit of sense though it's often confusing.

In some ways, the NIA and the widespread availability of the Ingress Scanner was a nightmare scenario they had both hoped never to face.

I also find that our personal relationship is both at the cause and effect of these ancient tides.

Arriving at her palace we indeed found evidence, not only of intrusion, but of what followed... In other words, some of the would be thieves had been repelled by various Exogenous mechanisms that Jahan and her ancestors had placed in the chambers along with passive and active intrusion deterrence systems. In plain speak, traps built in ancient times that still work to deadly effect.

It is becoming quite clear to me that high-tech is not necessarily as effective as low-tech and Exogenous weapons are no more or less effective than modern weapons. They simply work on a slightly different frequency.

    "Frenemy" situation... seriously??. I think that is quite an understatement. After all, didn't the Azmati clan got Jahan's mother and sister poisoned? I would hardly say that stands as a"frenemy" situation...

    And I'm not even sure they are together in seeing the whole ingress scanner issue as a nightmare scenario. Jahan has learnt to use it quite well after all. Maybe at the beginning it was... unconfortable... and in that the Azmati and Jahanite clans reacted similarly, but I'm not sure that similarities stand now...

As you know, I’ve returned to production on Nomad, but there have been a number of fascinating interruptions.

I do not know how, but the ripple effects of recent Remote Participation events are still being felt...

I received a communication from Jahan that she believed that there had been a theft attempt against her Prime Artifact Archives by a Remote Intrusion Participation (RIP) Team. I think she was trying to figure out if it was me. I assured her it was not... I have no interest in escalating things to that kind of level.

She said that her passive and active defense systems had repelled them, but she had no assurances that it would not happen again. And, she suggested that I take precautions, that the Azmatis' Treasury -- which is under my care -- could face a similar attempt. Though, to my knowledge there have been no leaks as to its coordinates.

Hopefully there's some security in obscurity...

    Gosh Hank! This is some unnerving news. I thought Remote Participation could only be so effective if it was carried out under VERY special circumstances (such as Navarro's) and that those would be very difficult to replicate. I thought that was why the attempts reported by Jay Phillips had managed to only "spy" on events rather that really interfering (however troublesome that was as well).
    I think you are wise not to escalate things to that level. Playing around interfering with at a quantum level with the fabric of the world shouldn't be taken lightly.
    I wonder who might this team be...

    I would go and take a look at Azmati's treasury if I were you, +Hank Johnson​, just to be safe (or do you think Jahan is lying to you and she pretends to follow you to be able to find them?)

    This is very bad news. If the wrong person gets their hands on those archives or any of the Artifacts them selves, it would be very bad. Both of you must be very cautious. Depending on how these people are, they could go to any means necessary to get those Archives.

    +Michelle Smith​​ I'd want to go into the archives. Why? To find weapons to use against the N'Zeer, to destroy their artifacts, to steal their stuffs, for the thrill of it, or any other reason I could come up with in any other reality.

    The beauty of the situation is that could have been done by anyone even by people not familier with ingress.

    +Michelle Smith​​ let's look at it like this; I'm pro Enlightened, Pro-Shaper anti-N'Zeer and anti-anti-magnus (Jahan really needs to come up with a better name than "We are against the thing we are against") Creating a massive crater in the N'Zeer substrate​ and vaporizing Jahan's nest by exploding all of Jahan's toys would be a colossal victory. It would leave her completely powerless, incapable of doing anything in regards to XM, and she would be left using all her resources to build and man a new compound. Sure, the explosion may cause a huge chaos war to errupt but it would be well worth it because as I wait for my corpse to recurse I would be high five-ing Jarvis as he wheels me around Valhalla shiny and chrome the ultimate to party with the Shapers (assuming I won't also hang out with OLW and huff the tecthulhu). Who knows, may they would hasten my return to the mortal world as a reward or something.

    Hopefully When I​ do return they won't make me into shards. That would suck.

    +Mario Valenzuela II I understand. What you are thinking about doing is possible. With the right equipment and a good plan. It would also be a matter of finding the location of Jahans nest (which Hank knows the location of). I think it would be interesting to find out te outcome of an event such as that. Jahan would do just about anything to continue on her work, and further her cause. Including rebuilding from the ground up.
    But what happens if something goes wrong, and you accidentally cause something bad to also happen to you? Well, there is always a chance that after being in an Anomalous Zone, the Ultimate, or the Substrate that you will be Sharded. Then all you can do is hope for the best outcome. And yes, that would suck.

My meeting with Jahan didn't happen by chance. I think the details of it are even more pertinent given the recent conversations posted by PAC between Shaw Henson and Jay Phillips.

It involved use of a Prime Object not unlike the Shonin Stone. I did so under instruction of Jahan and with trepidation. (In inheriting the Azmati Family’s collection of Prime Objects, traded and stolen over centuries, I inherited a set of very powerful objects that don’t come with instruction manuals or FAQ sheets. Unfortunately, Jahan knows this catalog better than I do.)

It happened as follows: Jahan contacted me and suggested that we meet. As I am still being followed by unknown organizations with unknown intentions and Jahan is experiencing the same -- and as Jahan herself is dubious ally, we agreed to meet in a neutral zone.

Here is where it gets interesting.

Our agreed meeting place was Jahan’s palace a millennia ago -- before it was taken over by her family. On a video conference, she explained how to use the artifact and we set our coordinates in a way I will not explain here for obvious reasons.

Instantly, we were in a scriptorium that would become Jahan’s library, where we have been before, at a time I would estimate as around 1200 AD.

After a cordial greeting, she showed me a scroll filled with odd drawings of what appeared to be blue and green genii or demons from an unknown mythology. She traced for me how some of these memories evolved -- becoming one with native cultures through legend, folklore and myth. She explained that what I saw in the scroll were the true 'Exogenous Entities.'

"Why have these things appeared throughout history?" She believes that the events in the future may bring about a return of an Exogenous era.

It is something she is preparing for. It is now a possibility I am aware of as well.

Continuing from where I left things yesterday, our reaction as primates who think that the world is knowable is to perceive this (that the world is not as it seems) as a 'wrongness', but perhaps that's what a revelation or an epiphany is for.

It is a revealing. And as something hidden is revealed, there is a moment when you realize that things never were what they seemed and the mind, craving always order and connection, must go back and reassemble the world based on the revelation.

Things never were as you thought they were. They always were different. You write a new rule and emerge with a new understanding and you know that your new understanding, itself, might also be an illusion.

Just as the internet has connected people and place and events in ways that they had never been connected before, Exotic Matter and Chaotic Matter have forged new Links.

Standing here, now, a new image is appearing... I realize that what we perceived as video games and entertainments with their artificial worlds are simply a step in evolution to make us realize that our perception of the world is an artificial world.

Just as every person holds together their vision of a world and a 'narrative' of reality, we must realize as a species that we have a fragmentary and illusory vision of the world held together by the 'stories' we tell ourselves in an effort to keep out the chaos.

The world is not chaotic and it will never become orderly.

It is something very different.

    Perception does not only trick us but also separate us in many ways +Hank Johnson... are you familiar with the concept of "Qualia"?
    If you are not, I strongly suggest you take a look into it... It might help you.

    cogprints.org - Absent Qualia, Fading Qualia, Dancing Qualia

    In cognitive science there are many things we take for granted that other people do not: Don't fully trust your perceptions since your cognitive apparatus is not the same as the guy next to you and thus you're are surely not percieving the same thing in the same way. From there, the idea that "the world is not what it seems" comes natural, really. We don't see the world as it is, we see it as our brain is able to interpret it. And it is not only that we don't see it as it is: I don't see it as you see it. Think about it... how sure are you that what I see as "red" is the same thing you see as "red"?
    We also know better than to trust our memories completely, since every time you remember something your brain has to actually reconstruct that memory from the electrical pathways activated the moment you acquired that knowledge (because sure, memories are not "stored in a place" in the brain as many people thing, they are moving through the dendritic network). So the possibility is that every time we remember something we are actually reconstructing it. So we usually omit things and also "fill in the blanks"... XD

    Just something to ponder about next time we talk about something such as "reality"...

Before leaving DC I stopped at my storage shed in Tysons Corners. Kind of. It was like entering a haunted house. My belief is that, due to certain objects stored in there, it has become an extension of another Anomalous Zone.

The storage shed is not there to the others around me. It has been torn down and some kind of office complex has been built in its place. It would have appeared empty when they inspected the shed before demolishing it.

As I checked the facility and retrieved some objects that are now stored in time as well as space, I felt the presence of modern people going about their jobs.

It was a very odd sensation. Inside the shed, it was 2014.

Metaphorically, the world has always been that, different times existing side-by-side in modern cities, but visiting a past that I myself existed in is very odd and yet informative for an archeologist.

In a literal sense and perhaps a metaphorical sense, I got back on the road.

I’m not sure whether it was the Aegis Nova, or Abaddon, or Via Luxe or Via Noir, which still seems to be somewhat upon us, but it is clear to me that we have entered a new era, and it is my feeling that the search for true knowledge supersedes past differences.

Via Noir has been a very long road, but I feel it is coming to an end. I will be making every effort to be present for the MAGNUS in Northern California, but I, like every other human, am not in control of my destiny.

Some of my time has been spent attempting to unlock the secrets of the Prime Objects left to me by Azmati’s Uncle. In a perfect world -- a detente -- Jahan and I would share information, for I believe that we are in possession of interlocking Prime Objects, but we are, for reasons that should be apparent to most, not at a place where we can trust each other.

Thousands of years of rivalry, treachery and violence does not vanish in a day, and somewhere within me lurks the fear that perhaps we would be doing the bidding of the Exogenous forces if we were to collaborate. We must be very vigilant about what we let into our world, even if by our own actions.

And perhaps, we must be very vigilant about what worlds we enter that are not our own.

Oliver Lynton-Wolfe was not present when I visited the Die Glocke facility where I thought his Tecthulhu had been constructed. It was guarded by unknown but curiously subterranean forces. They laid in wait, and I expected -- if not violence, then certainly a tense standoff. However, they (perhaps on orders from their superiors?) decided to let me conduct my investigation unmolested.

I do not know who they are or who they serve, though there is ample room for speculation on this topic. They felt like tribesmen... Uncontacted, but very aware and capable of using technology. Perhaps they were well camouflaged mercenaries, perhaps they were some strange human or cultural artifact of previous occupations of this chamber, perhaps they were humans mutated and infused with the Exogenous, or possibly, they were spectral figures of my imagination. It's possible. This was no ordinary place. I had no direct contact with them. I felt their presence and believe I saw them out of the corner of my eye.

The facility itself stands empty save for a gigantic bell-shaped artifact which pre-dates Lynton-Wolfe and is quite possibly the result of experiments during and after the Second World War. In any case, there was no physical trace of what has been called the Moyer Tecthulhu. I have not used the word 'physical' by accident. There were non-physical traces. I felt a presence in the Die Glocke facility that I have also felt in other Anomalous Zones and have come to believe that the construction of a Tecthulhu may be a precursor to the emergence of an Anomalous Zone. I can not prove this, but for the record, I believe it. I have ignored such instincts before and lived to regret it.

And, for what it is worth, I felt a familiar 'human' presence there. I don’t know whether it was Lynton-Wolfe, Klue, Susanna Moyer or a combination of them, but I believe it was one or more of that... trinity. Once again this was a non-rational, non-provable observation in strange place, but it's an observation nonetheless.

As has been leaked by unknown sources in documents, I have spoken in person and through various chat channels to a number of members of the original Niantic Project. The leaks surrounding this have caused me to define 'Johnson's Law'. Simply stated, it is that 'the more secret a document appears to be, the more likely it is to be leaked and widely disseminated.' I have contemplated making these reports appear to be much more clandestine than they, in fact, are, to expand the scope of my communication.

Some things have become clear. I believe we formed a MAGNUS, but as we were not all of Enlightened or Resistance alignment, it was not what I will call a Pure MAGNUS. It was a hybrid MAGNUS and I can only speculate on the meaning of that. However, all of the characteristics of the MAGNUS were present. We were gathered in the same place and time, we filled all of the Archetypical requirements. We carried out research and built Exogenous objects and we were all exposed to extreme amounts of XM. In fact, it might well be that we created a Tecthulhu and it is almost beyond doubt that Abaddon, located physically below the Niantic Facility but also maintaining an identity outside of time and space, was already a Tecthulhu.

That MAGNUS is now at an end. I do not know what will follow. I do not know who will remain.

The Enlightened control much of what lies ahead -- I wonder what they are thinking...

My next journey was to the NIA Headquarters outside of Washington D.C.

    Although I agree strongly in considering necessary for each Enlighted to offer their opinion, +Hank Johnson words are really discouraging for those who - in the Resistance - has fought to get something and has already failing in its commitment.

    There would be much better ways for him to express himself against them, which is not what I chose to use.
    Not to mention that, at times, it hurts more the pen than the sword.

    Honestly I dont like this way of proceeding by Niantic.

Hey there Agents.

I'll be in Christchurch, New Zealand doing some research for Nomad (will be looking into local Maori legends among other things).

Come join me at Dux Central and we'll hang out for a while and share stories.

I may need some help from you as well... keep an eye out for one or more Missions near Dux Central in the hours leading up the meet up -- I may have some intel to share if things go according to plans.

And my gratitude to the Agents on the ground in NZ (M., G., C. and F.) who are helping organize this event -- couldn't do it without you folks...

To continue where I left off last time, I am convinced that Tecthulhus are not necessarily dependent on modern technology. I may wrong about this, but I don't think so... They might have relied on Prime Objects... there are Prime Objects both in the Jahanite Collection and in the Azmati Collection that have indeterminate powers. Or, put plainly, I have no idea what they do and realize that it is a very bad idea to test them. There lie dragons.

In any case, in the nest I found, each niche was carved with a symbol and text in a language I could not recognize. I have shared these some of my more resourceful contact -- translation awaits. It is my belief that these markings correspond to the Archetypes recently referred to by other researchers.

Whether the corresponding English translations that capture the meanings of the Archetypes is a determination I will leave to others.

Perhaps most disturbing of all was a sculpted relief which looked almost Assyrian (though not in the right region) of what appeared to be the thirteen niches shattering with the bodies rising up and shattering. This did not as such resemble a recursion, but a reflection's fragmentation. The bodies were shown intact, as if the shards had emerged from them in pieces -- like a mirror image or an out of body representation...

Each body divided into seven fragments which were all partial iconographs of the niche from which they had emerged.

And there, it gets strange...

    +JoJo Stratton what I understood is that PO were needed when tech was not available. That might mean that they are still needed and thus it should be assumed that he somehow has one. BUT, it may also mean that modern technology (something developed by OLW during his investigation and building attempts) could have developed or used a piece of technology that does the same for the techtulu as a PO. Maybe OLW does not even know that he has made that. This could shed light on how the PO's work, provided that is true that he invented something alike.

Finishing up my thoughts from yesterday...

I can categorically deny that I am harboring Dr. Lynton-Wolfe, or that I have any knowledge of his whereabouts. Many entities would very much like to locate him. I believe I have been followed by organizations who believe either that I know where he is, or that I will be able to find him.

Would that it were so.

Of Devra, all I can report is that when I last saw her she was safe and Farlowe remained a present force in ensuring her safety. It was my impression that she was looking for a place to continue her research, perhaps under an assumed identity.

For the record, she believes that Tecthulhus are a potential method for contacting the Shapers, the N’zeer and possibly other such intelligences -- but she is wary of the potential for misuse and disaster -- as she feared would come from the Moyer Tecthulhu that Oliver Lynton-Wolfe had built. The search for ‘dialtone’ remains very much a part of her purpose... her vision of the world.

A suggestion made my an Essex researcher (I don't recall which thread I saw it on) has been rattling around in my mind... It is the concept that the Tecthulhu created by Dr. Oliver Lynton-Wolfe (the Moyer Tecthulhu) is connected to ABADN (the facility beneath the former Niantic Project lab under CERN).

I had hoped never to return to that place and will not do so unless there is no other option ahead of me.

That is my update for now. I apologize for not being able to give out more specific information about my location or plans, but these are very complex times.

    The idea that the Tecthulu is a device used to contact the Shapers and or N'zeer is fascinating and honestly makes sense. If so I'm glad the Acolyte currently has the machine and I hope she is working to make it operational, the sooner they hear the true message the sooner they may stop resisting.

Jahan asked me a simple question, but as with many simple questions, every answer leads to more questions. I am reminded a bit of the Hydra. You chop off one head and two more grow in its place. I have not yet located Dr. Oliver Lynton-Wolfe, but I have reason to believe that he is in our world (for lack of a better term), or at least has the ability to come and go from our world virtually at will.

I am looking forward to exploring more deeply the possibility suggested by Essex that he has access to his own ‘anomalous zone’ not unlike Jahan’s Palace, Abaddon and the Enlightened compound. Of particular interest is the notion that perhaps a Tecthulhu can create an Anomalous Zone. I had not considered that. Nor had I considered the possibility that Lynton-Wolfe is hiding not just in space, but in time.

I have tried to contact Lightman about the new Glyphs and sequences that have begun to appear, but have been unable to reach him. I am not concerned. I am aware that the Niantic scientists are undergoing something that is not unlike witness protection. Some of it is self-imposed... some might be governmentally ‘mandated’. It is evident that three-letter-agencies have developed a new and focused interest in XM research. I can only assume that some of this might be in conjunction with the corporations, and has caused the corporations to step up their own research. We will see where that leads...

More later...

Had an interesting chance (was it chance?) meeting. It was a person who claimed to be some kind of documentarian or news journalist, it wasn't fully clear to me which. They recognized me and asked for a brief chat -- seemed safe so I obliged. The person then went into a long and pretty detailed talk about Niantic Labs (the front org used to mask the Scanner's origins). They claimed that Niantic Labs was secretly leaking or foreshadowing edge science, and suggested that they had some ulterior motive for starting to inject those issues into the collective consciousness.

It was odd because I honestly couldn't tell if I was talking to a tin-hatter or a legitimate researcher. They didn't come across as a paranoia conspiracist, for sure.

Either way, I’ll give this person part of a point. Exotic Matter was a pretty obscure word 5 years ago, and now the physics Nobel prize goes to a group of folks studying XM?

The world shifted. That, I recognize.

Have to cut this short. More later.

Been deep in. Can’t say where I’ve been or what I’ve been doing for the past couple of weeks. I can tell you this. NL-1331. Remember all of the chatter on this a while back? It’s back on the road. Whenever it starts moving, things start happening. It got me remembering. First time we heard of it, it transported Jarvis’ corpse - if it was a corpse. Where is it going and why is it going there? Nothing's an accident when it comes to 1331.

I can’t say exactly what Jahan’s mission for me was, but suffice to say that it also involves opening some old graves, so to speak. As an archeologist, I’m used to old graves, but usually the people in them are dead. This all gives me the creeps. But I see what she’s going for.

And just in passing, I was in one of the remotest parts of the world. Well, remotest parts of the world where you can still find a diner with a bulletin board. What did I see up there? It was a bio card from an Enlightened agent. I contacted him on comms. He was very helpful.

I spent much of today trying to figure out how Jahan had been able to turn the Prime Object into a communication medium yesterday. To no avail.

I have been able to use it before in other contexts -- but I had never imagined that it could transport my mind and consciousness (if indeed that's what it did) into the Substrate (if indeed that's where it was).

This means a couple of things to me: Either the Prime Objects I possess can be made to access different kinds of abilities, or perhaps some Prime Objects have 'hidden talents' of sorts that can be turned on at will.

The fact that Jahan knows and is able to do this is worrying to me... where did she learn this?

Times like this I wish I had Misty to consult with. Despite her insistence that she has no special powers, I can imagine her picking up a 3000 year old artifact like a casual knick knack, sensing deep into it and then tossing it back at me... "It's a transdimensional walkie-talkie, dummy."

I am often in awe of the depths of her sensitive abilities...

    +Angelina Hunter Sure, when the sibyl gives a message it is in plain text, but the meaning is time encrypted to only make sense to the listener who paid for the oracle and it takes a few weeks.

    Looking at the red black pottery image one does not see the ethylene gas seeping through the cracks in the floor that would put her in a hypnogic state to interpret the symbols she is getting via the "trans dimension walkie talkie" or prime object which in this case is bowl of water which she is scrying.

    That is the input. The output is plain text encoded to the unique space time signature of the individual so the passing of time itself decodes the message only for that unique individual. Of course the oracles are typically misinterpreted owing to ego and could also be public.

Back. Where was I? Devra.

Put simply, Devra’s consciousness seems to be layered. Multiple memories and personalities contained in one person. It's not like Wright who was an extreme example of a failed mind coup -- a scrambling of sorts -- rather it is like several overlapping saves of a document. This leads to having several overlapping but subtly conflicting memories of the same thing. Hard to explain, but worthy of thought.

In any case, it seems that the story we saw told through the Howcraft Document, augmented by Felicia’s pages, tells us what we already knew. Susanna and Klue, in some incarnation, encountered OLW, who was working on building or optimizing the Moyer Tecthulhu at the Jörmungandr cave in Buenos Aires.

There, they encountered an unknown group (New Wave Enlightened or New Wave Resistance?... eventually it will be of value to know), and despite considerable conflict, the Moyer Tecthulhu was completed.

I had hoped to learn more detail from a Howcraft document in Rome, but did not prevail. Devra shares my suspicion that Resistance forces have the document, which means that Jahan probably has it. The problem is that we know little of Jahan’s activities post New Orleans.

However, I have the feeling that if she wants to be found, she’ll be found.

For the moment I’m traveling with Devra and Farlowe. We don’t know which of us the PMC forces are after, but there’s strength in numbers.

    There they encountered an unknown group!? That's pretty interesting whom could it be, NWE NWR? What we know is that the Acolyte found the Jörmungandr cave and that her staff tries to get it online again, so can we assume that this unknown group may be the NWE, or is it a new force that is hiding in the shadows?

    http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/11/21/the-acolytes-plans/

    Had to think about the attack on the Acolytes compound in North Carolina in April and this special kind of automatic weaponry.

    http://investigate.ingress.com/2016/04/26/acolytes-compound-attacked/

    The PMC forces could be a sidearm out of IQ Tech or Hulong Transglobals subsidiaries it's unclear yet, but it's clear so far that both companies were involved on the ambush on 'Nomad' and 'Dialtone'.

If Farlowe appreciated the fact that I didn’t shoot him while I had him in my sights, he didn’t show it.

He, Devra and I finally connected. He didn’t have much better idea of who our assailants were. Fact is, we couldn’t be sure whether they were after Devra or me or each other. Farlowe even thought he might have drawn it. Old enemies? Who knows... It's hard to tell what you’re dealing with Farlowe.

I have to be careful what I report here. Suffice to say that Devra’s journey (which began on a fake-date while she was at the low profile Strathmore Community College and was rescued by Mr. Loeb aka Chapeau) to Wroclaw and beyond has been been quite interesting.

The thing that’s perhaps most interesting of all is Devra’s recollections since re-accessing the Vault... her Vault...

This might be instructive for all of us who’ve been exposed to XM.

If Calvin ever gets back into the think tank business, he should study the long term effects XM is having on people. It might explain some of the shifts in consciousness that we’re starting to see.

Gotta go, will report more when I can.

Devra and I had barely made contact when the firestorm began. We split up immediately, I sent her to safe ground while I tried to create a buffer.

You don’t expect to learn archeology in a gun-battle, but I’ll say this, the ancients had better tunnel systems that we thought.

Turns out that there was an underground network under the site that I hadn’t expected. I’m not sure if it was a sewer system, a mine or a catacomb -- it almost seemed like the inhabitants had gone underground for a time.

Maybe it was to avoid invaders, or a regression to cave like living for some sect, maybe it was for the winters or some other kind of storage area, but the complex below the city was more interesting than the ruins above.

Nobody has ever used ground-scanning radar down here, and I'm certain only small sections of this system are known.

Navigating the underground labyrinth I found that it was relatively easy to outflank and defeat my opponents by using meerkat tactics. It's still unclear to me who the party or parties were. I do know this, they were well equipped, well organized and given that they had helicopters and assault ATV’s, I suspect they were well-funded. Definitely PMC-types. They departed as soon as things got too hot, which tells me that they were not ideologically committed.

And there’s one other thing. I drew a bead on a shooter and realized it wasn’t one of them... It was Farlowe. He had been shadowing Devra, likely to protect her. I have to find them.

    The corruption of the image of Hank and Devra from a couple posts ago is something known to happen to digital media in anomalous zones.

    The confluence of Farlowe, the portable XM fountain, Hank, the Viator and someone who may have primal XM artifacts on his person, and Devra, someone closely tied to recently anomalous events and unanswered questions, may have activated some form of anomalous zone or nest.

    I think these tunnels are indeed something from times long past and they haven't been discovered or mapped because normal people just couldn't activate the anomalous zone.

    I think there's half a chance they're related to Devra's Vault.

    maybe it was a hostage negotiation to release Devra and the enemy of my enemy is my friend deal gone bad???.would work like a four way deal over Hank Johnson..two enemies who have a third in common agree to third party mediation over letting Devra go and not fighting each other to focus on the third.. on condition that Hank Johnson shows up... one of the original two parties "walks out.." in which case the enemy of my enemy is no longer my friend they start attacking each other again and possibly Hank Johnson/the mediator... except for the hostage deal this looks similar to what happened in the Afghanistan of almost 1980..war by proxy... U.S V. Soviet Union......after the Soviet Union left their ten year efforts in trying to prop up a failing communist government that was dealing with resistance groups like the Northern Alliance and others secretly backed by the U.S. government most of the Afghan ethnic/tribal wars flared up again...the Taliban ended controlling most of the country except for few pockets of resistance up in the north by around 1992 ... nothing really changed from there until 2001

I've been following the events that took place in Japan closely. The document that emerged in its wake interests me. The message -- that is of course extremely fascinating and there is much to be learned from it, but the paper it appears to be written upon (or emerging from, as it were) -- looks like it may have some historical provenance. I'll be committing some energy to exploring this further... when I can...

Right now I think I may have picked more tails. I suspect I'm being shadowed by multiple groups. This is not unlike Darsana, though thus far I have seen no evidence of lethal intentions towards me. It would not surprise me, however, if the various groups were taking covert and possibly hostile measures against each other.

When I wrote my previous thoughts about Nigel and the Tecthulhu, I left off an important piece of information because I was awaiting some additional confirmation. Now, I'm pretty sure...

My suspicion is that Nigel Moyer, while at Bletchley (as a young prodigy) either received or heard of transmissions referring to Die Glocke. He began research on this as Bletchley was being dismantled after World War 2 ended. It is also possible that in the wake of the Axis defeat, parts from both the Die Glocke project as well as some of Turing's machines were secretly moved to a special lab for further research, and Moyer may have been involved in this project from its inception...

Exactly when and how Nigel Moyer completed his plans for the so-called Moyer Tecthulhu is unknown to me. It is my opinion that he worked on this project sporadically over the years -- maybe decades. I don’t know whether this was because he had to work in secret or whether he lacked the necessary equipment (maybe he had to invent it or wait for it to be invented) or whether it simply took that long for the ideas to fully formulate in his mind.

The point is that it took a long time. I can only speculate on whether other scientists helped him and if so, who. I plan to visit his subterranean lab in Buenos Aires to determine this.

Devra published a message online just a few days after the #ViaNoir Anomalies, but since then, I have heard nothing from her. I attempted to contact Farlowe as well. Radio silence.

I can only speculate on what they are doing -- whether Devra is on her own or with her guardian angel again. Perhaps they are attempting to follow Lynton-Wolfe, or perhaps they have gone into hiding. I believe I would know it if she had come to bad ends, but I can't be sure.

With Lynton-Wolfe either on the run or out of the picture (it's unclear what his happened to him after his final broadcast) it does not seem to serve anybody else’s interest to harm them, but I could be wrong.

PREFACE: This post was withheld from the original date of writing for reasons of security and secrecy.

==============================================

If I have put the chronology together correctly, the journey that led to what we know as the Moyer Tecthulhu* went something like this...

The original Die Glocke Tecthulhu project was assembled by Axis scientists during World War II as part of a Wunderwaffe program. It didn’t work, but they got very close. The exact origins of their blueprints are unknown, but given the location of the project, it would not surprise me to discover the Axis scientists were using blueprints obtained from medieval Eastern European occult alchemists.

It would also not surprise me that similar blueprints were reportedly seen in a book referred to obliquely in the Black Stone and the Howcraft Document -- a book allegedly read by Lovecraft and perhaps Howard.

This book may or may not be the book fictionally known as the Necronomicon. In any case, it is not known whether the Axis scientists were able to harvest any information from their failed attempt, but the stories of their diabolical bell certainly suggest that things went bad. Time will tell us more about this.

In a later installment I will reveal my suspicions as to how Nigel Moyer came upon his version of the Tecthulhu, but there are gaps in my knowledge.

Will report more, later.


* I give the Tecthulhus different names because I believe, as I’ve said before, that there were many Tecthulhus built in different times by different hands across the centuries, maybe even millennia. My theory is that they emerge consciously or unconsciously from transdimensional blueprints through Sensitives in a process much like how Dr. Oliver Lynton-Wolfe was able to engineer early Resonators and XMPs through a combination of instinct and inspiration from Roland Jarvis’ sculptures -- which themselves were stimulated by XM's impact on Jarvis. Once again, this is just my theory, but it seems to fit the facts. I await confirmation from others.

Congratulations to the Enlightened on their victory at the #ViaNoir Anomalies. Personally, I experienced a bit of a disappointment given that the Enlightened did not win in Rome and I was unable to retrieve a portion of the Howcraft document that I was searching for... but there will be other chances to retrieve it. I will keep you posted, I suspect I may need your help.

It seems that we were able to stop Lynton-Wolfe and his version of the Tecthulhu has been destroyed. But his last words have been echoing around in my mind.

I heard the Acolyte and Jahan displayed a show of camaraderie in New Orleans. I laughed to myself about that. I have no doubts that even now the Acolyte is taking every advantage of the Enlightened victory -- seeking to bring the power of the Tecthulhu under her control. And Jahan of course is trying to do that as well.

It had to be destroyed to take it away from Lynton-Wolfe -- that doesn't mean it's the last we've heard of it.

"Where there was one, there will be many."

The Anomalies may have come and gone, but I suspect Via Noir is not over...

    To be honest, I couldn't stand the notion of Jahan and the Acolyte wanting to unite to stop the arrival of the Tecthullu. After all, why waste such a potential resource to wield against your enemy?

    Obviously they didn't want +Oliver Lynton-Wolfe to have it-it would have been 'dangerous' in HIS hands. But no, of course they'll go after it-they can't afford to not go after it. And they'll simply wave their hands and have their factions compete around the world, harnessing the activity of future events to gain control and dominance over this dangerous weapon with little regard of what could happen.

    Did the Acolyte not learn from her mistakes in Obsidian and Aegis Nova? Did Jahan not learn as well?
    Nope. They didn't learn-and they never will.....

    +A Detection Algorithm​​ and +Oliver Lynton-Wolfe​​ needed a significant amount of power and a secret location for whatever it was they were working on. This "Tecthulu" might very well be it.
    I doubted their concern for the rest of us having cubes after #AegisNova. We did the legwork to end the "drought" but I don't think the research we were supposedly supporting was for the betterment of humanity.

    Why send +Susanna Moyer​​ with a compromised +Klue S.​​ to find this monster? As far as we know, Susanna is a sensitive but has not been ingressed. I assume that she was still human. Klue is somewhere between after being compromised by the AI. The AI...well. The three of them together may have been a key piece to bringing the thing online.

    The spectre of the "many" looming over us now might be the New Wave of both factions.

    Or they were entirely a fiction--like the hacking of +H. Richard Loeb​​'s website and associated disinformation--to keep us busy.

But I can not understand that you leave the leadership of the Enlightened in the Acolyte´s hands. Just like Jahan should be replaced with +Devra Bogdanovich, you should take over. That would make future collaborations easier, should they be necessary.

The Dark Road, #ViaNoir, has led to this moment.

The beast that dwells in the darkness. A machine of immense power, and where there is immense power... what's the saying? Great power corrupts?

I called this machine the Tecthulhu, because I thought we first saw this thing through Lovecraft and Howard's eyes... It seemed appropriate.

Recently, however, I have learned that Lovecraft and Howard were not the first to see this vision.

I am en route to Rome to learn what I can. I have reason to believe that there might be clues that could lead me to the origins of the 'Tecthulhu.' I can’t say more than that, except that I think there is both historical and archeological evidence that machines like this have been imagined before, perhaps even built in antiquity.

It has also become evident to me that Oliver Lynton-Wolfe gained access to Nigel Moyer’s research... the research Nigel died to try and protect.

Nigel had seen the machine. He knew it was too powerful. Too tempting.

But that's never stopped Lynton-Wolfe. He's building it... the Moyer Tecthulhu.

Will update as I can.

And yes, PAC was right yesterday... I did receive a package in the mail. And it's with me en-route to Rome now. I'll give it to the winning Faction tomorrow...

    This is too powerful a machine for Jahan or Acolyte to control. Please look for a means to stop it, +Hank Johnson. I hope that all three briefcases are necessary to control it. This way, chances are that after Via Noir, no faction ist able to control Tecthulhu.

    Hank learned about 13MAGNUS, the Anti-MAGNUS and the N'zeer just alongside everyone else. Technically one could make the argument that since he returned from the Afgan Cave with all his memories he might know more than he's letting on but nonetheless, when those discoveries came to light during our Investigation he was learning about those things right next to us-not ahead.

    And what makes Hank's Enlightened leanings any more different than an individual who leans on the Resistance end?

    One more thing. My belief is that the best Tecthullu is neither blue or green but non-working. Nigel hid his research so that it would never exist. And +Oliver Lynton-Wolfe's thirst for knowledge is eternal and bottomless-he's willing to do whatever to whoever in the name of study and research.

    The Tecthullu being awakened could be dangerous as is. In OLW's hands it could be disastrous.

Recent events have convinced me that sometimes secrets are really lies in disguise.

A secret, by definition means that you are not telling the whole truth. So here is the truth.

Any of us has a number of faces: there is the face we have now, the face we once had and the face we will have. They are all different faces, but they are all the same face.

And all faces have different expressions: happy, sad, angry, peaceful, and a million shades in between. All different and yet all are from the same face.

Places are like that, too. There is what a place is today, what it was yesterday, what it was 100 years ago and what it will be in 100 years. And most importantly, there is what the place could be.

Now imagine that certain people... sensitives... could possess certain Prime Objects and enter a place and it would be that place, but a different manifestation of it.

Well... I walked into a contemporary university (which I shall not name) and with certain help found myself in a library that was believed to be fictional at Miskatonic University, also believed to be fictional.

And I found a volume in the ‘reserved’ section that went by a name I will not mention here. And, for reasons that should be obvious, I did not open the volume, but I gazed at its cover and I saw things of indescribable beauty and horror.

    Ah +Hank Johnson, you found the Orne Library Special Collections section at Miskatonic University. There one can find authentic Cthulhu tomes, occult books, and other rare, very interesting artifacts.

    I'm curious, did you happen to gaze upon the famous Necronomicon? It contains many secrets about the Old Ones.

    You are very fortunate to have gained access. I'm told the Special Collection is strictly guarded and kept under lock and key.

    Dear +Hank Johnson​​

    +H. Richard Loeb​​ mentioned once Viktor Kureze's Phase Shift theory.

    I tried explain how this phase shift theory could work. https://plus.google.com/105838193018678917660/posts/TVJYVFq1bVx.

    Once you said that every glyph sequence has it's own code to answer. It is possible that sensitives could travel through time and dimensions by using the Shaper Glyphs. The question is does this theory only function from our dimension/reality or is it not only a one way path?

    Maybe you'll find the glyph autopsy helpful to find some answers.

Devra has remained dark since Wroclaw. We all know from the compromised P. A. Chapeau video that she went there to find a 'password' that somehow leads to a 'Vault' -- whatever that is.

Then she went to Wroclaw... Appeared to be in very good spirits, and then nothing. If anybody has any information as to her whereabouts after Wroclaw, let me know. According to PAC (who I messaged about this earlier), she hasn't been seen back at her college either. Worrying.

There was some thought that she was trying to recover or remember something from a 'lost time.' My guess is her lost time was the interval after the incident with Farlowe and 855 in the caves and before she went to work with Ilya at Visur. My other guess is that whatever happened in this lost time made her relationship with ADA became deeper. Even the Australian Incident could have been staged to look like they were at odds.

Or maybe they were. ADA's ultimately a big unknown. But take this into account: ADA was possibly aware that Devra was a simulacrum and thus faced a non-mortal threat in Australia.

Could the Vault refer to some repository of lost memories extracted as the researchers were made into simulacrums? Or could it have been something Devra contributed to in her last recursion? Something connected to ADA? Something else entirely?

I don't know but it's interesting to speculate on.

    My theory on the vault, is that it hold the way to expunge the XM from a person and/or return a simulacrum back to a human state. If we are to look at the events at the gettysburg anomaly, the portal decay rate increases, and the xm drought (all caused by devra) the removal of XM could still be a priority for her.

    Do we know she opened the Vault or gave the password that P.A. Chapeau asked? And thank you +Hank Johnson for asking about +Devra Bogdanovich - voices alone are hard to hear in the crowd, when enough join, it becomes a cacophony. I have always thought there might be a deeper connection between ADA and Devra. I wish +Hubert Farlowe was more in contact - he had a link to Devra and knew more about her, then perhaps she herself knew.

    In the book by +Felicia Hajra-Lee regarding Devra's journey from Niantic after Epiphany night - there are several mentions and allusions to time being distorted. If there is a connection to quantum states, particle theory, and time/space dimensional theory - then the lost time could be something very different than what we are use to thinking about. Time may refer to something else - researchgate.net - Is time equivalent to a space dimension?

I was against the Acolyte's plan to attack ADA. I've made that position clear before, but it deserves to be said again after what we've learned about this upcoming Anomaly.

Despite my other ideological views, I think ADA has a right to exist. (Just not a right to take over life and the world as we know it...). I hope the plan to reawaken her at the #ViaLux  Anomalies next weekend succeeds.

    Considering Jahan - I have yet to hear a renowed RES agent speaking up in her favor. Most RES agents consider ADA as the leader of our faction, while a smaller part wait for the recovery of Dr. +Devra Bogdanovic in order for her to regain her old strength. Jahan however even seems to have lost contact to the N'Zeer so for the time being, I think we can count her out.

    Hell, now that I think of it, I'm worried what may happen if new wave resistance aligned veterinarian starts assimilating our pets into ADA's collective by swapping out RFID tags with ADA chips. That would allow ADA to spy on or assassinate her enemies and get away with it...

    Knowing ADA once she learns how to do that, she will in an attempt to preserve herself and boost her influence on humanity.

Knowing this, the use of human bodies as a host--with no thought to long-term safety--and distributed network should give everyone pause. What happens to those of us who refuse to assimilate? Is it just ADA that they're carrying around? It's one thing to be influenced by something after being around a portal; it's something completely different to have a conduit hardwired in to your body. The fragments talk about diseased portal users. Perhaps this is how it starts. Let's cross our fingers and hope they don't run on dark XM, hmm?

    You may get a second, third, or one thousand three hundred thirty first chance at life if you guess wrong on this, Hank.

    I agree with you, Hank. ADA deserves to live. She should be judged for her actions, and indeed I am heartened that we possess some way of threatening a being such as she is, but assassination is not the method I prefer.


    ADA may be the thin edge of the N'zeer wedge, but perhaps we can show her that they were our real target in this attack.

    Supporting ADA's right to exist is easy if she behaves herself. The hard question you dodged is where you stand if she doesn't. If she insists on taking over the world, will you still support her existence?

Been thinking about this 'New Wave' stuff. I haven't met any New Wavers myself yet, but I'm fascinated by the concept.

Biohacking (on the Resistance side) and whatever is going on in the Enlightened New Wave (is it some kind of genetic hack? or some kind of xm based transformation? or is it just art?), it makes sense to me.

We've been doing it for thousands of years.

We tend to think of the human form as something stable, something that hasn't really changed because we've been able to use society to depressurize the evolutionary systems around us, but that's not really the case. We've always shaped our bodies to face the environment around us.

Take tribal tattoos and body modification as an example. They didn't engage in that practice purely for aesthetic reasons. They were channeling gods, spirits and a myriad of other invisible powers in the universe. They used it to guide the hunt, to create more powerful warriors or mothers, to enhance themselves against the dangers they faced.

And the thing is, I think it worked. We take for granted that a person powered by adrenaline can perform extraordinary physical feats to save their child. That's just mind over body, and I think it's something we've done all along.

So, maybe biohacks, genetic hacks, xm augmentation, body painting and ornamentation -- maybe they really are channeling something powerful -- if you believe they are.

    The New Wave Enlightened might be digging into old techniques. It's possible that tribal tattoos are an ancient form of circuit board or they alter the human nervous system in a certain way, but that's putting modern clothing on something older than now.

    The New Wave Resistance appear to be trying to make cyberpunk a reality. My question to them would be how do you intend to bridge the gap between the organic and the inorganic? There are things like pacemakers and cochlea implants to assist the human body, but what the Resistance New Wave is doing feels different.

    Ada worked on the human software but she didn't attempt to add technology. Curious to how this affects the playing field.

    I agree with +Yik Sheng Lee, those new Wave groups need to be careful on the Techniques used. After all, I suspect that after the awakening, they will be recruited for the real war. The successor of the war that almost destroyed the ancient world. I think that we should work together to avoid this scenario at all cost, as i'm pretty sure that no one want to see the Xm equivalent to a nuclear head.

    As a person who augments on a daily basis I can see the benefits of certain types of this. Putting on a prosthetic leg, prescription spectacles and hearing aids are widely regarded as normal and safe. So why is grafting electronics or gene splicing so worrying? Is it the fear of losing control or of losing our purity that really worries us? If either were proved medically safe with quality of life benefits for the subject then just like e-cigarettes is it just a thing that will prove or disprove itself overtime.

    Clearly these new waves are not making much headlines other than being outside the 'norm' let's wait and see. #Guineapigs

    It could also be interpreted as the evolution of the two sides rather than the third faction with members of both teams coming together. I think this points toward evolution of the two sides- ENL and RES have very different concepts; too different to merge into a new faction as one.

    Transhumanism is an interesting concept. I firmly believe there is a higher intelligence at work here in our reality. My suspension of disbelief allows me to take all ideas, concepts, philosophies in, to perhaps make an informed decision. Someday. If I half to. My own take, or, slant on the New Wave is tainted by my own agenda. This agenda is shared by many in the Ingress community. Myself, and, others, feel that Ingress is suffering due to lack of participation. I see it happening all over the world. The Yucatan Peninsula region. The part of the world where I am, North Texas. Vienna Austria. I talk to both Enlightened, and, fellow loyal Resistance Agents about this daily. When I first encountered the term "New Wave", I kind of latched on to it, as salvation for an activity that is much more than a game for a lot of us. I understand that New Wave has connotations, with relation, to the ancient world etc. I GET THAT.
    What I was trying to read into it, or, what I hoped it was, is as follows:
    Agents from both factions with renewed interest in the endeavor, and, journey of Ingress.
    Pure Ingress.
    Doing everything they can to help preserve, and, promote this "game", of international good will.
    "New Wave" would be an excellent vehicle, or, title of a grass roots movement to help ensure the servers of Ingress are kept on, for many more years to come.
    NEW WAVE would still have its place in the research being done here. I would like to take that, (borrow ) to start a global movement for Ingress.
    If I could get everyone's thoughts, comments, and, reactions to this they would be welcome.

+H. Richard Loeb aka P. A. Chapeau is quick to leak what he finds, but his posts often lack context and can be misleading.

A conversation between myself and the Acolyte just surfaced on his website. Not gonna deny it happened, but I think it's important that my own thoughts get clarified.

I'm not helping the Acolyte, specifically in her plan to destroy ADA.

I've had lots of conversations with the AI, and while I get that she's complex, new, not fully understood and maybe even dangerous, I don't think setting fire to the forest is the right option here.

I choose to call myself Enlightened. I think the Portals have the potential to awaken us, guide us and help us experience the world in a full and rich way. I think lots of ancient civilizations flourished because of XM.

I respect the Acolyte. I respected Jarvis (though he could be high-strung). However, I don't share the opinion that all AIs should be destroyed. Frankly, I'm not convinced it's even possible. I study history. In my experience it tends to flow one direction.

Either way, let posterity and the record reflect that Hank Johnson was not a part of this.

    The universe has a way of restoring balance,  Destroy ADA and something will take her place to restore the balance you upset.

    Thinking about the whole issue i come to the conclusion that this cannot be solves from the inside. Both ADA/Jahan and Jarvis/Acolyte are jumping at each other. The one with the first hit wins and if you stand aside the other one hits. As +JoJo Stratton​ mentioned we cannot be sure what happens to ADA. Maybe she mutates to Skynet. On the other hand who know that Jahans actions are causing.

    +Hank Johnson​ I respect your opinions but I certainly don't agree with the notion you should be the Enlightened leader. Your objectivity is only because you are outside looking in. If you were inside your ideas would be skewed. So, stay where you are and speak up,when you,have suspicions because usually they are correct. Not speaking up about your suspicions is exactly why you should not be the Enlightened leader. It almost makes you complicit in the outcomes. I don't trust Jahan, threw Acolyte or the Shapers or the N'zeer. They have all proven they are untrustworthy and we need a human faction that can actually think for themselves without outside coercion. That, I believe is the only thing I would ever consider you leadership material for. But, you are also tied to your unexplained belief in the Shapers so I am skeptical of that as well. Again, I express my interest and gratitude for your thoughts but I believe you need to speak your mind more.

For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Hank Johnson. I’ve studied and experienced anomalies throughout my career as a scholar, a special operator and have investigated them extensively on my Nomad (https://youtu.be/Q46_58xAr8s) TV show.

In retrospect, we should have known that the Obsidian Shield was not what was represented to both 13MAGNUS and Anti-Magnus (http://investigate.ingress.com/persons-of-interest/persons-of-interest-organizations-and-forces/), but hindsight is always twenty-twenty, high-def and 3D.

When the Vesuvian Magnus attempted to build the shield, they threatened both the Shapers and the N’zeer, two forces that exert gravity on our species and have for a very long time… we don’t know what they look like, where they are, what their true intentions are and what role we play in this quantum chess game, but we do know that the Vesuvian Magnus was destroyed in 79 A.D. by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

The truth is, we couldn’t have known what would happen when the shield was deployed. Nobody knew except the leader of the Vesuvian Magnus, who I believe to be Pliny the Elder, and even he only knew in his dying breaths on a beach near Pompeii. Perhaps that is the reason some believe he ordered his own murder. Perhaps, like Jahan, the Acolyte, in our day, he was deceived by the Shapers or the N’zeer or both.

Those of you who have followed my career know that I have seen the destruction that a mixture of XM and Chaotic Matter (Dark XM) can do, (http://investigate.ingress.com/digging-deeper/#AlignmentIngress) at the Luizi crater in Africa, and via the ‘spooky’ powers of a 13MAGNUS nest in Afghanistan as well as other encounters documented in NOMAD.

But even I didn’t see the XM drought coming. I might have suspected it as my compromised discussion with Wright shows, but I didn’t know it.

In deceiving us, the Shapers and N’zeer revealed a great deal about themselves. We must learn from it. We must not make the same mistake again. Nor can we accept defeat. A shield that can be activated can be deactivated.

At this moment some of the greatest minds in XM science are working on it: Dr. +Oliver Lynton-Wolfe, +Stein Lightman and Dr. +Edgar Allan Wright are well known experts. Many are Ingress Agents whose knowledge is equal to ours. Together, we can emerge victorious.

This drought, too, will pass and I believe we will emerge better and stronger if we do not shrink from the challenges ahead of us.

Until next time, keep digging.

Hank Johnson

    I think a lot of us, both Enlightened and Resistance, have taken on a humanist attitude to this struggle as it's unfolded.
    Perhaps members of the Vesuvian Magnus felt the same way but their actions, like the actions of 13 Magnus and Anti-Magnus, wound up being too extreme in the end.
    Both the Shapers and the N'zeer have to realize what a huge threat to their agendas this is. I feel we should use this opportunity to get some real answers from both before even trying to deactivate it.

    Or maybe he wasn't deceived since the Shapers and the N'Zeer had no idea that they were both helping him build the shield and configure it to close off the portal network from each other's influence. Or maybe, he deceived both of them since he knew he was being contacted by both and took advantage of that fact thus earning their ire once they realized the con.

    With all that has happened in the last anomalies and the outcome of Obsidian, I reached a conclusion, which I'll lay down here alongside with some facts and questions:
    - the shield is responsible for the XM drought, we got that;
    - XM is a force of nature to make humanity evolve on its own, the quantity does not seem to matter in a normal use;
    - as it was in the past, even with the shield on, evolution kept happening;
    - today, with the shield still activated, I see lots and lots of fresh and outstanding creations, like the banners made to the foreseen anomalies.

    My questions now:
    Do we need an external entity, be it our friends (Shapers) or the N'zeer, to make use of it, to be aware and influenced by it?

    Does the shield act like a control field, but neutral on its purpose?

    Is the extra XM, that we grew accustomed to, really required?

    Is it required to help us evolve, or do these external entities have a hidden agenda of their own for the XM ?

    If what you say is correct and both the Shapers and N'zeer have directly and openly deceived us, could it be because they now realize human potential and fear us? Could it be that we now pose some threat to both of them, perhaps gaining the ability to create a world where XM exists, but they don't? How badly do they need us, I wonder...

    It would appear to me based on the outcome this was inevitable. Just as in the past when factions have strayed to far in opposition Niantic has used the backstory to break our spirits to maintain the game.. I think it is time to find those place.. those people.. those agents who want to find a more harmonious game.. a more social game and pursue more fun in a balanced environment...it is time faction racism dies.. it is time to embrace the brotherhood of the game.. if your scanner is  blue.. you are part of a team.. if your scanner is green you are part of a team.. take part in the game and participate in ways that you enjoy the game

    +Matt Murrelet Or possibly the saboteur of Vesuvius Magnus is someone who has lived lived many lifetimes, recursing through the power of XM. Someone who needs XM to keep on living, and so sabotages every attempt to take control of the portal network, or shut it down. Someone who seems to always be there, at the critical place at exactly the right time.

    Hmmm ...

    This is what the Resistance was about. The removal of external influence on our minds. For those Resistance agents who been active since +Oliver Lynton-Wolfe​​ leaked his scanner technology, this was our mission. No Shapers.

    Our faction was hijacked by the Anti-Magnus and now some of us struggle both inside and outside our own group. For those of us who fight, the XM drought brings us a brief victory.

    We are not slaves of the Shapers. We are not the harbingers of the N'Zeer. We are the liberators of humanity. We are Resistance.

    +Eric Frock Actually, you shouldn't be so naive. This was the outcome of Obsidian, no matter which team won the anomaly. LoL. The story line is written ahead of time- it has little or nothing to do with who wins and who loses anomalies. Again, Res is just butthurt they lost.

    But, since this is the storyline we are talking about- there's a lot about XM that is still unknown. Is blocking it a good thing or a bad thing? Depends upon which side you rolled. Is freeing it back up again a good thing or a bad thing? Depends upon which side you rolled.

    I'm more curious about the long-term effects of XM remaining in the portals prior to being released. And is there a way to harness XM better now that it's not free-flowing into the world? Greater concentration of energy held in a portal is quite probably XM in its strongest, most purified state. Much can be accomplished to further the evolution of humanity with concentrated XM. +Hank Johnson, I look forward to new discoveries.

Thanks, #ObsidianExplorers for recovering all these pages.

It seems clear to me that Obsidius was referring to very primitive compasses created in China during the Han Dynasty. It's quite possible that Obsidius saw these in his travels up what we now know as the Silk Road, which, of course, wasn’t really a road, but a network of trading routes. 

While it’s clear that the Romans were not keen on exploration, they were curious about trade routes and might well have attempted to chart them. For those of you who haven’t seen this yet, there was quite an interesting news story involving a Roman trading vessel which might have been found of the coast of Brazil.

While they may not have been keen on exploration, they certainly covered some distance...  

Also, I’m curious about this locked box that Susanna has gotten a hold of. Apparently the key is in Bologna somewhere.

I’ve seen a protected message transmitted this way before. A little old school, but it works. I’d be curious to see if we can learn the source so I can see if it’s who I’m thinking of.

Went to my storage unit at Tysons Corner, trying to find some additional info about Obsidius.

Was greeted with a surprise.

A message, cleverly concealed next to the lock. Short.

Need to get this intel out. Please help. Mission launch: Lincoln Memorial. Feb6. 10:00 - R

I have a couple of friends and contacts in the DC area with names that start with R. One of them's at the NSA, another at IQTech, and a few who are just operators out and about on the Hill.

That's all I've got at this stage, I'm afraid, but I suspect if we can get some boots on the ground we might learn more tomorrow.

Continuing to research the exploratore named Obsidius.

Have learned some things, much remains buried. From what I've come across, he didn't travel alone... he was working as part of a larger group.

He was definitely a sensitive, and an extremely powerful one at that, possibly one of the most powerful ones ever.

The records on this last point are confusing. I've seen reference to Obsidius as a collaborator and an enemy in both 13MAGNUS and Anti-Magnus contexts. I'm not sure I understand how that's possible... was he a collaborator to both of these groups? An enemy to both? Or maybe I'm just losing something in the translation.

Thanks to all the Agents who are helping to pull this material together. This task would be impossible without you.

Also curious about what PAC is going to have to say for himself on +Behind The Scanner tomorrow... always surprised by what he has up his sleeves.

    The next breadcrumbs will no doubt provide much more clarity.

    Regarding why both 13Magnus and AntiMagnus regard him as an enemy:

    On a basic level, it seems Obsidius originally worked for Titus. After being captured in Germania, probably during the revolt of the Batavi, he owes his life to Valadian. He performs missions for Valadian including traveling to an "Oracle" in Carthage and, after travelling in North Africa and Egypt meeting "The Magnus". (Could this be the " Vesuvius Magnus you speak of Hank?) After completing his quest for Valadian, Obsidius returns to Titus to debrief for some reason. Perhaps Loyalty, perhaps he regretted what he had done at the behest of Valadian. Regardless, it seems clear that Titus and Valadian are on opposite aides, I suspect Manus and AntiMagnus respectively. This could explain why he is recorded as an enemy of both sides.

    Alternatively, perhaps this has more to do with the pattern of strange bedfellows we have seen recently: Jahan reaching out to Hank, The Acolyte reaching out to ADA. Perhaps something is looming that will require both sides to make common cause...

    If you buy into the theory that the Shaper / N'Zeer duality parallels the story written by sensitive JMS, Babylon 5 -- the Vorlons and the Shadows -- perhaps Obsidius was an early match to the archetype of John Sheridan, trying to free humanity from being manipulated in a conflict of powerful outside forces.

It is no accident that the event next weekend in Oakland is happening where and when it is. I have to be there. There are questions that only Calvin can answer and it is imperative for the future of the Enlightenment that we control this man. The N’zeer must not have ultimate triumph. 

At this point, I have no doubt that Calvin had been plotting #Abaddon since before he hired me to study 13MAGNUS decades ago. I don’t know whether he was Anti-Magnus back then, or just a sensitive exploring the hidden world, but I now know that I unwittingly gave up too many 13MAGNUS secrets. 

I have to atone for that.  

For the time being, it appears that I must trust Jahan. Yes. I know the dangers of this, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

Rule #1. Assume no secrecy. Not when we are all observed by sysint, elint, humint and now XMint, and to top that off we have no idea what ADA’s enhanced capabilities are. To spare somebody else the trouble, I’ll break the story. I’ve been contacted by Jahan. She said she needs my help. Can I trust her? Of course not. But I'm also starting to realize that... whatever #Abaddon is... I'm not going to crack it without her. Not a chance. She may in fact be the only person who knew what Calvin was really up to during the Niantic era.

That’s the problem with frenemies -- strange bedfellows -- coopetitors -- frankly I don't know what to call this 'alliance.' Last time I saw her she was threatening to kill me. This time, she needs me -- and for better or worse I need her. 

It will be fascinating to learn what has become of her since ADA’s revelation and confrontation in the Anti-Magnus nest (I presume in Persepolis, but perhaps she'll shed more light on exactly where it was). 

She was not specific about the mission she needs me for, but I have a feeling it is going to connect, one way or the other, with the Howard Craft document. It can't be a coincidence that the salt island which today grows hot peppers was once called Abaddon. Or is the word just a label for the function a place serves to the Anti-Magnus? The thought's crossed my mind. 

What's becoming clear to me now is that everything that's been happening... since Helios... since Interitus. Maybe since 13MAGNUS. No. Scratch that. Since Niantic was just the spark of an idea in Calvin's mind. It's all been part of something the N’zeer and their operatives (Anti-Magnus) have been planning for two millennia. Amazing patience. Or is time different for them?

For now, I'm headed south. Into the sun. Jahan's waiting.

So in my opinion the best way to catch information is not to trust jahan but to make her to think that you are. If I were you ,hank, I'll try to find somebody who could hipnottize you or make youba regression. To know exactly all your history.

I can tell you now, that part of my mission in New Orleans was to try and help secure Martin Schubert. We failed, but we did get Lynton-Wolfe, and whatever I might think of him, I can’t deny that he is one of the most important Niantic researchers, if not the most important. I’ll let you debate that point.

The other part of my mission was to check out a possible location and see if it might be connected to the place we are now calling #Abaddon. That location was Avery Island. Unfortunately, it was a dead end. 

One of the clues driving me there was a rumor that there was another Robert E. Howard manuscript, posthumously edited by his pen-pal Lovecraft (not sure how he got it, possible Howard’s father forwarded some unfinished drafts to him).

The rumor is it that the document was in the Weird Tales archives under the pseudonym of Howard Craft, and still other rumors say that it was stolen from a university by treasure hunters. In any case, I failed to find it, and yet, somehow, it conveniently materialized in the days that followed the Anomaly. How? Well, your guess is as good as mine.

Having now looked at it, it does seem that REH was uncannily aware (at least subconsciously) of forces like Anti-Magnus moving through American history.

While the lead at Avery Island turned up dry, I won't stop looking. Even if they have been influenced by the Resistance, we still have a chance to save these people, to bring them back as people and not simulacra, and I'm going to do everything I can to help.

And as for what I said about Jahan on IR this week. It wasn't a lie.

    I have a feeling you are hiding things from us Hank. If you knew about the any of the ramifications of #Abaddon on the researchers, why didn't you share this information with us before you went to New Orleans? And now you are conveniently releasing info that was already released by Oliver Lynton Wolfe.

    This looks a bit suspicious Hank.

    Luckily for you, you have earned a lot of credibility in the investigative community for your past truth seeking efforts. But you should know that its much easier to lose respect and trust than it is to earn it.

Not when we need all the information we can get about #Abaddon before it's too late to do anything about it.

    I would prefer that the simulacrum still were simulacrum (in this way they have more possibilities to find the truth, cause they have a direct link to the other "dimension") but with total selfcontrol. So, in my opinio they should spend more time looking for inside of them how to completly control their action and how to fight to becom controled like muppets, than looking for the easy answer. So I think that all the answers the simulacrum and we want to know are inside of them somehow

    I think that your intention are good, Hank, but I still think that abbadon is their war to make us see the world their way, and their way only. This thing between humans or simulacrum seem to point that way too. The best would be without any doubt that their intention and desire were respected, but neither the shapers nor the n'zeer are willing to do that.

Like +H. Richard Loeb, (aka P. A. Chapeau), I agree that much of what is in Ingress: Origins is accurate -- at least the things that I was involved in.

That could indicate that other things are accurate as well, but I don't like to presume.

It's also clear to me, though I can’t go into much detail on this, that some events that took place at the Niantic Project are the root cause of things playing out around us now, in #Abaddon.  

And yeah. For the record, I very much look forward to having a direct conversation with Calvin, and, for that matter, Lynton-Wolfe.

    +QuantumIngressEffectIngress QuantumEffect Get ready for a deep dive-we're about to unravel who exactly +Hank Johnson is. 

    Hank was one of sensitives brought in by Zeke Calvin to the +Niantic Project in 2012. He has history as a Special Forces operative under +IQTech Research in 2010, when he was deployed to Afghanistan "on a mission to research an XM Powerspot in a classified anomalous zone."(Hank Johnson: Last Words video.) 

    It was during this mission that he had stumbled onto the man he would come to know as Azmati. The two of them had then discovered a powerful XM portal, what we would later know as the 13MAGNUS Nest. 

    Initially, we believed that Hank and Azmati had survived the firefight that took place at the nest. SO from that point, Hank had been recaptured by Special Forces, and after some time passed, debriefed by Calvin and joined Niantic. 

    Hank is also an archaeologist, possessing a degree from the University of Texas in Austin, Link here:(http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/pac/IB/02/item/thesis.png
    His primary theory centers around what he refers to as the "Nomad Hypothesis": “My theory, known as the Nomad Hypothesis, is that Exotic Matter drifts outwards from portals over thousands of years. That ancient XM leaves a shadow that I know how to detect. In the path of these XM shadows, you can often find an ancient civilization, shrine or significant artwork. These trace patterns helps to explain why an ancient civilization can flourish in one place, but then decay and die. Portals disappear taking their inspiring power with them. Ancient civilizations are built on the portals of yesterday.”(Link here: https://plus.google.com/+HankJohnsonNomad/posts/SYP8cxz6xSN)


    Hank also has a TV show, referred to as NOMAD. You can find the various episodes on the Ingress YouTube channel. 


    So, after joining up with Niantic, he then leaves a couple of days before the ill-fate Epiphany Night experiment, making him the only member of Niantic who wasn't exposed to the mega dose of XM that night. He leaves early to investigate a mysterious portal in Africa. He'd find himself teaming up with Conrad Yeats and the adventure they had would be documented by +Thomas Greanias in the Alignment: Ingress novella.

    After Niantic's shutdown, Hank would find himself investigating the Shaper Glyphs alongside the now deceased Carrie Campbell, heading to Cross Plains, TX for more information. 

    During 13MAGNUS, Hank and +Devra Bogdanovich would be contacted by ADA(though the use of Klue, who had become her biological host) and told to research the 13MAGNUS secret society. Hank's further research unraveled the mystery of XM-induced immortality. He would then go on to find a Nest with the help of Agents in Phoenix who were able to uncover a ancient map marking where it was. It just so happened to be the place that Hank and Azmati were in back in 2010. 

     At the finale of 13MAGNUS, Hank's first NOMAD ep dropped-and at the end of the episode, Hank would then go radio silent. Video can be seen here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+NianticProject/posts/h3tcP7cRo4m

    So, after going silent Hank would re-emerge in Berlin with no memory of what happened to him in the Nest. Video can be seen here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+NianticProject/posts/fVvt75SPqxR 

    He was seeking Azmati to learn what happened for real at the nest. Around this time a man by the name of +Wahid Mazhar would emerge ith a video, claiming it was the missing piece of the 13MAGNUS NOMAD ep. He would eventually release it to ADA/Klue, who would then release it to Agents in Nashville. Video here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+NianticProject/posts/EMN6eMHkZuJ 
    The video showed Hank looking at his own body. Meaning that the Hank we've known since Niantic...has actually been dead. 

    So, during the Recursion series, Hank finds Azmati and in a two part video:
    (part one: https://youtu.be/0n7xRlL2E_c
    Part 2: https://youtu.be/nSxP6e89b6c) Hank learns that he is a 'simulacrum'-an XM immortal clone of his former self, and that he died for real in 2010. A special screenplay was released to the world via +Verum Inveniri which shows Hank's death: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+NianticProject/posts/L9V4tDebpBd


    To make things a bit worse, Hank only had 1331 days since his death to survive until "Recursion'-his deconstruction and Resurrection process in which he would lose all his memories of his past cycle. And that day Hank figured out was June 11th, 2014.

    SO. during Intertius, Hank, Azmati, Mazz(now deceased) and Nigel Moyer(+Susanna Moyer's father) plus +Oliver Lynton-Wolfe teamed up to help by helping him capture and store his memories from around the world and bring them to Cross Plains: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+NianticProject/posts/X2nWZN9zrLN
    Video here: https://youtu.be/uuufRl7V80A

    It worked but on June 11th, Hank recursed.  Video here: https://youtu.be/2X2VxLmYNAs

    Hank remained missing until after Helios, when he re-emerged with the warning: "The artifacts are a beacon....signaling the Shapers' worst nightmare." Video here: https://youtu.be/pgJOVMAoVCA?list=PLDEUWItbkQ5_mkMO56STfp_JDzDiPrPUM

    Throughout most of the Darsana series, Hank would go on to unravel the mystery of what we now know as the N'zeer. Eventually, he would end up in a massive firefight against all 3 XM Corporations. Wounded, he would find himself meeting with the woman known as Jahan, and well, the rest is history: https://youtu.be/JOoSyl1qFyU 

    If there's anything I've missed, please someone notify me so I can fix it. 
    Quantum, hope that helps elaborate things.

Hubert Farlowe has been with me for a while. He claims that Devra told him where to find me. I haven’t seen her or heard her in a while, but I’ve felt her. I’m still a sensitive, after all. 

Farlowe, on the other hand... he says he’s been talking to her. I don't know whether to believe him, but he's here, so... I guess the evidence supports the claim.

I received a message from Jahan. In it she claimed she had nothing to do with the murder of Azmati’s Uncle. I guess this was before whatever happened at the Anti-Magnus nest. Or, at least, that seems more likely. I'm still processing what I saw in that video. Frankly, I don't know how I feel about what I witnessed. About what happened to Jahan. And to ADA for that matter. Good things will probably not come of this, I guess, is the general impression.

As for the message. I’m suspecting that she’s telling the truth. Azmati's clan and Jahan's clan have struggled against each other for thousands of years. But they follow their traditions. They follow their own rules of engagement. It would be a violation of the ancient truce. 

Likewise, I did not cause the deaths in India. It was a team that was shadowing me. They were good. I thought I’d lost them, but I hadn't? Or was it 855 and Phillips? Or it could have been someone else...

I don’t know. I couldn’t ID them.  Maybe somebody else. 

There’s no shortage of people who want to be rid me. I did retrieve some things from Azmati’s uncle’s place and thus, I have inherited the responsibility of carrying on their work.

There’s been a lot of talk flying around about what I did or did not do at Jahan’s haveli. 

The simple answer is that PA was accurate, I shut it down using a Prime XM Artifact I acquired from a location and in a manner that I will not disclose at this time. 

I encountered opposition and neutralized it. 

I could not swear to what the source of the hostile fire was and didn’t stick around long enough to identify those pulling the triggers. 

That’s all I have to say on the subject and all I am likely to say in the near future.

    I think that what we know in this circumstance should be given as much weight as what we do not know.

    We know he shut it down
    We do not know what 'shut it down' means exactly.

    We know he used a 'Prime XM Artifact'
    We do not know what it is, where it came from, what it's capabilities are and are not.

    We know that +Hank Johnson​ encountered opposition and 'neutralized' it.
    Despite our best guesses, despite all previous understandings, at this very moment we do not know what 'neutralized' even means.

    It's pretty clear to me here that Hank is feeling defensive as well as quite understandably on edge and unwilling to release all the details. He's giving enough information to slow rumors, and you can't make a judgement on that. Everyone involved in this story is both a hero and a villain, no one's hands are clean. If he feels he has nowhere to go and no one to get information to, then he will hide or he will go silent.

     As far as we know, antimagnus could have manipulated everything from get go using the resistance's xenophobic beliefs to bring about the apocalypse.  Seriously, WATCH EVERY +Oliver Lynton-Wolfe video and realize that his "masters" were always the N'Zeer and that he and the rest of antimagnus played all of us for fools.

    +Yik Sheng Lee , +Sachith Maduranga : I'm leaning towards the possibility that this image represents Shiva as opposed to Vishnu. I'm basing it on a few features shown in the sculpture/figure:
    1. The lower garment worn appears to be only knee-length.
    Shiva is a yogi. As such he is depicted numerous times wearing only a knee-length tiger-skin or even less. Vishnu is depicted more often with a full length garment.

    2. The rear right hand might be holding what is depicted as a conch or an axe.
    If it is a conch, it is undoubtedly Vishnu. However, I could not find any depiction of Vishnu with conch on the right hand. The right hand usually holds the Sudarshan Chakra, which is a circular implement held with the center and the entire diameter viewable from front (i.e. a vertical circle).
    If it is an axe, Shiva is depicted numerous times with an axe in his right hand.

    3. What is in the rear left hand is not entirely clear.
    However IF it is Shiva, then the left hand would hold a leaping deer with its rear limbs. I can see that. But may be I'm conditioning my self to see that.

    Having said all that, I have not been able to find a matching real world sculpture/figure.

    +Yik Sheng Lee as I was discussing with +Sachith Maduranga  there is something interesting in the mythology surrounding Shiva. Shiva's most devoted followers are known as Gana.

    Gana are generally depicted as mutated beings and/or non-human beings (also translated as ghosts and non-corporeal beings). What do we know about the effects of dark xm?

    Bogdonovich is a 4 yr old with a rubics cube, the inoculation she proposes simply changes the resonance of the human organism, just as resonators tune portals to greater harmony with XM. Once shapers find the new resonance, humans will be even easier to reshape. She is falling into a trap, one created by her own hubris, she is not helping!

Got a distress signal via an old but trusted NIA pipeline.

Worrying, but for now, need to confirm the source, most of the signal was lost, only scattered bits got through.

That's all I know for now. Will keep you posted.

A bronze armrest and luxury ceramics? Really?

This is a textbook media coverup. Wouldn't be surprised if this was an Anti-Magnus sponsored expedition, going back down to recover an artifact or artifacts connected to the Antikythera mechanism.

(P.S. Thanks for the positive comments about the last #IngressReport. It was a fun project. Who knows, maybe I'll do another some day. In the meantime, keep those #Sitreps coming.)

Well, +Klue S..

You're right and you're wrong. Yeah I was looking into 13MAGNUS a long time ago. Calvin backed a research project in my younger days.

But that doesn't mean I have some kind of hidden agenda. I'm a seeker, just like you. I pursued 13MAGNUS, and it cost me my life. 

I pursued Anti-Magnus, and it cost me one of my most trusted friends.

I've paid the price for my curiosity, and all I've found is that sometimes well-meaning people do bad things. 

As for #Abaddon. You're pretty on the nose. My instinct are saying the same things yours are:

What did Calvin know about simulacra and the secrets of 13MAGNUS before the Niantic Project began? Why did the researchers disappear?

And... I guess the most important question... how do we get them back?

An incredible finding. Both astounding and totally unsurprising.

What does this mystery mean? I'm not sure but at 13,000 years old, it's a fascinating artifact and a glimpse into the power inspiration held even when we were such a young species.

As for the codes covering it? They look pretty familiar to me...

At times like this I wish Kureze was still around.

Einstein might be turning in his grave, but Kureze would have been jumping for joy.

If nothing else, (and a strong reminder here that I am not a physicist), the entangled nature of the universe is proof that much of what we perceive as reality can and probably does connect to some other facet of it that we cannot see. 

Is that what lies beyond the Portals?

    Interesting, however I think it is almost impossible to measure these things, just by our observations and attention to these variables it will always alter the results in some fashion.

    +Mr. Meany​​​​​​​ I don't understand entanglement, but taking it at face value - in terms of relatively two black holes spinning around each other, such that their event horizons became entangled - could, when separated, retain that bond in another dimension, ie. the universe beyond the event horizon - ie. they have been infinitely bound via another dimension. This also has the advantage of showing a direct link in physics to imaginary numbers.

    So relativity can explain entanglement.

    As we have repeatedly stated, Einstein is right! QM is statistical theory based on a lack of understanding of the system. But people take QM as working on entities.

    This did not work every time. In total, they only managed to generate 245 entangled pairs of electrons over nine days. This could conceivably be attributed to the
    somewhat philosophical loophole, first identified by Bell: the possibility that hidden variables could somehow manipulate the experimenters’ choices of what properties to measure, tricking them into thinking quantum theory is correct.

    In other words... they may have got it all wrong! Why not just say that instead of beating around the bush?

    The experiment seems to closely mirror a phenomenon that has been relevant to several past anomalies. Entangled pairs of particles extended their entanglement to their partners when they became connected to each other. Similarly we have seen sensitives become connected to each other by engaging with the same portals at different times.

An Agent on Facebook,@emjayism, made an observation that pretty much sums up what I think about what may have happened to +A Detection Algorithm.

Look at it this way, my pursuits are constantly taking me to places that some could look at and assume are just shadows. Far from it. No place is more powerful than one where the energy is palpable even long after the folks who first discovered it have gone to dust.

Take ruins for example. Some folks see them and only see the absence, what once must have been. I see the presence, what was so powerful that even now, thousands of years after the place was vital, it remains.

Why? I don't know. If you asked +Roland Jarvis he would say something about how the Ultimate helps preserve those patterns, and how we experience them when we're near them. As far as I'm concerned, I don't know the answer.

I also don't know if AI's are patterned in the Ultimate, but one of the things that I know for certain is that we never really forget anything. We're a pretty amazing species that way.

Might be kind of a zen way of looking at things, but I feel that things that are absent can remain present, and things that seem dead can live on.

Wasn't there some theory in quantum physics about a law of  the conservation of information?

Because of all the work done by agents on both sides over the years now, (activating sites at anomalies, FS activities the world over, locating portals etc.) the N'zeer now have a massive wealth of information and energeic data to implement and use against us all..

Interesting article.

There was a line in there:

"One of the most unusual recent discoveries is a small piece of slate that was used as a writing tablet, along with a lead pencil. A tiny letter “M” can just be made out on one corner."

We know another symbol that could be mistaken for the letter M. It's often associated with strange disappearances and tribes that have helped protect and preserve ancient knowledge.

Back on the grid. 

Will be reporting in about what happened with Ilya later. For now, something else is bothering me.

Received more communication from the entity I believe to be +Devra Bogdanovich. In fact, it is certain to me that it is Devra.  Have been hunting for what I believe to be her Significant Portals.  Am developing a theory that all of us have Significant Portals.  This came to me as I was leaving the ‘breadcrumb’ trail that many of you followed.  I am still searching for other breadcrumbs I left as a simulacrum.  Please contact me if you find these places.  Do not ignore intel found in Portals.  It is becoming more and more important.
 
Been feeling another presence in Portals.  Don’t know whose it is. Jahan should be nearing completion of her Persepolis mission.  Just as certain forces manipulated Devra into playing an unintentional roIe in unleashing the N’zeer, I believe that certain forces have been manipulating me.  I am not going to fall into their trap. Sometimes it is better to take no action than the wrong action. For now, I am investigating.

This is all new turf to me, and that's not usually the case.

What Jahan is doing, the strangeness of the ritual and the unexplainable XM activity around her... I knew what she was planning, but the how is... well... surprising.

I keep looking back to +Devra Bogdanovich's warning.

Many have asked whether she had an ulterior motive. I won't ever know that truth, but after all we're learning about Jahan, I believe that Devra was acting in good faith. The unknown is the most dangerous place of all, and she knew more about what was coming than I did.

I can hear the fireworks in the distance. (Yes, I know I just partially compromised my location, but I figure 4 million square miles is a pretty loose target). Devra and I may not see eye to eye on some pretty major ideological issues, but I don't think Jahan and Devra would either. I've spend time in the military, so call me old fashioned, but there are certain core values that I believe define nations. Those same values also define individuals and they define the movements that comprise those individuals. At the end of the day, standing in opposite camps, Devra and I would and do respect each other for being true to our shared core values. 

For her to protect me is not a breach of her identity or her beliefs. It's those core values at their purest.

    "The history of liberty is the history of resistance," but in Dr. +Devra Bogdanovich's case, I believe the reverse is also true.  Just has you, +Hank Johnson, have sought enlightenment through helping humanity understand the "shapers", Devra has sought resistance through liberating humanity from it's imprisoning effects.

    Perhaps that is what she meant by "I have become what I feared."  She may now be imprisoned within the XM network, but she continues to fight for us all.  Regardless of faction biases, we know you fight for us as well.

Back in pre-production for Nomad again. It's been a long time. Seems like forever ago that I was shooting in the Congo (https://goo.gl/lE7Ss5) or at Cross Plains (https://goo.gl/HGusUf) or near the 13MAGNUS Nest in Afghanistan (https://goo.gl/EqoDcL).  

I want what I have to impart to go out wide so that if something happens to me, others will be able to follow. Looking back, I feel like I've done one of these before almost every major journey. I think of Nomad as like a file in an investigation: A place to archive ideas, instincts and discoveries. 

I'll give you one hint as to what's coming. Her name was Thaïs.  She was called the Harlot, the Courtesan and other things. Is that what she really was, or is that a 2,000 year old cover story for an operation that is playing out today? You be the judge.

    Intressting girl you are after this time. As for what you are after, or whether this may be a metaphore for something else is still unclear for now. Letting the metaphore part slide for now. From my brief research I found that see has been missing for a few years since her repentance and her death. Knowing the love for the unknown you have, it is probably that what you are after. Also I might have overlooked it, but there doesn't seem to be a reason why she is declared holy and thus be allowed to wear the title of saint. That means that somewhere along the way something must have happened that was worth enough to declare her Holy, but contains information and subjects that are not allowed to be disclosed to the public. Is there anyone from the Catholic church here that knows more, or can ask a Pastor or Bishop?

    Thaïs was no harlot. Hetaira were more than prostitutes, educated, more akin to what we understand of geishas today. Whether she was more than a good friend and advisor to Alexander is lost in time. But all the historical accounts mention her involvement in the burning of the palace at Parsa. The Persians built with cedar by preference, so the palace was no match for fire. Was it the result of a drunken challenge, or a calculated strategy? Was it revenge for burning Athens Acropolis or was there something more? Cleitarchus was not present and discounted by his contemporaries as one who embellishes his accounts. The drunken party may not have happened, but all historians agree she was involved in the burning...

A good day. We started behind, but remained committed to our cause. That's what counts. Now, we push again. We persevere.

This was never going to be solved in a day, or a week, or a year.

Anti-Magnus has been pulling strings and spinning wheels for a long time. Decades? Maybe... Maybe centuries. Maybe millennia.

Jahan believes in her cause. She has nothing but blind hope for a glorious future. Something she believes is promised to her in destiny. She thinks the N'zeer's rationality and order will become one with us, curing us of war, disease, hunger and who knows what else.

It's a noble intent. And she believes it in the purest possible sense, but I strongly suspect that she is being used. Just like I was. It's time to stop this.

And I will.

I want to thank the many of you who helped recover and deliver Nigel's message to +Susanna Moyer. I knew I was right to trust you.

    The problem with pure rationality is that it limits the ability to think beyond set boundaries. The problem with pure inspiration is that it limits the ability to apply itself in a practical sense. There must be a marriage of the two to bring humanity forward to a future where the stars are our stepping stones and multi dimensional existence is our birthright.

    I find it refreshing that the Resistance is slowly waking up to the idea that humanity is not some sort of pure monad, that it has always been influenced, and this is for the better. But perhaps they will also learn to examine the quality of their messages.

    +The First & Foremost what I'm saying, and what I believe +Hank Johnson​ is saying as well, is that optimistic blanket statements that the N'zeer are our friends art naive and potentially dangerous. If you'll remember, in the past, Hank has expressed similar sentiment about Jarvis message and the shapers. Blind faith and fanatical devotion are very easily exploited by those of ill intent. He isn't saying they are evil. He's saying that trusting in them blindly is dangerous. And I'm saying that if the N'zeer and the j'inn are in fact the same thing, we know from the Quran that they can be very dangerous and untrustworthy.

I'm sure I don't have to remind you how easy it is to lie to people. I'm sure you've had "friends" in the past whom you thought you could trust, but they betrayed you in the end.

    Once again, I'm not suggesting that we should trust anything from the official sources. I'm asking you what makes you so sure you can trust your unofficial ones? I left the Anti-Magnus community and hangout when I detected unauthorized access requests to my subconscious mind. Are you sure you can trust your new friends? Are you sure you can trust yourself?

I still have, in my possession the envelope that Susanna’s father, Nigel Moyer, handed me (https://goo.gl/4lZ9MZ) shortly before drifting off.  As promised, I have not opened it. My plan was to give it to +Susanna Moyer in Washington D.C., but I think that would be unnecessarily risky.  My plan now is to place it in the trusted hands of friends of mine at DARPA to pass off to her. More on that below.

The question is: Should I? Nigel Moyer is a mysterious character. I have no idea what side he is on and what role he played or did not play in the chain of events that has led us to the N’zeer. I don't know what I might be facilitating by passing this information forward.

As I said in my last post, I fear that I might be written into their plans in ways that are not yet clear even to me.

I turn to the members of +Operation Essex and others to advise me. Do I give the envelope to Susanna or not?

If we decide to deliver the package, I need an Agent in Washington DC to help get it from my contact at DARPA to Susanna.

This Agent would need to act in utmost secrecy and with utmost trust. They would need to receive the envelope on Friday, protect it while it's in their possession and then deliver it to Susanna at the Anomaly on Saturday.

Let me know in the comments if you are that someone, or if you know someone who can help with this mission. I'll contact you directly for further details.

    Nigel Moyer conducted experiments on his own family resulting in their death. He has sided with OLW, who we know is aligned with anti-Magnus. 

    I would only give this information to +Susanna Moyer if we first were able to certify it free of any hazdata or other memetic threats.

    +Brandon Downey The problem is, +Hank Johnson made his promise. 
    And promises have to be kept. If we break our promises, we loose parts of ourselves. 

    +Hank Johnson keep your promise and give the envelope to +Susanna Moyer with warning. She probably has trusted friends who can search it. Do not open it at any circumstances, it can be like Psyche's box, a trap set to threaten you.

    We will be in DC.  If you indeed decide to deliver the package, there is no doubt that we will be able to successfully transport the envelope with absolute discretion.

    As for if you should deliver the package, its hard to say, but if you do take a look at the contents, it may make your decision easier...

    If Nigel has ADA's allegiance then your courier role must have ulterior motives. What might those be?

    A test of your honor or honesty? Fail to deliver and fail the test.

    A test if your shrewdness? Fail to peek and fail the test.

    An attempt to get you to hold a tracker or XM device? The damage is already done.

    An attempt to get you to alienate +Susanna Moyer​ by failing to deliver?

    Susanna didn't seem to entirely trust Nigel. You may be a Trojan Horse from whom she's more likely to accept delivery.

    I think you'll learn more from delivering it than from keeping it. +Daniel Beaudoin​ will be onsite and he's been in your corner from the beginning.

    +Hank Johnson​ I highly recommend +Daniel Beaudoin​ and his team for this mission. No other agents I know are more competent and trustworthy than those who have been hand picked for the Green Dragons. But I disagree with him on one point: I do not believe you should open the envelope yourself, under any circumstance. If Nigel is on the side of those who have been manipulating you, he's probably counting on your curiosity to get the better of you. Why else would he give YOU of all people this package, rather than delivering it himself or hiring a courier of the highest reputation? I believe this package most likely contains a trap for you. It should be delivered to +Susanna Moyer​ with a warning, and left to her discretion whether it should be opened AFTER the anomaly, or disposed of securely.

Post has attachment
From the original team at Niantic, there's only one living researcher left to check up on, Enoch Dalby. I have a lead on where he is and expect I'll have news on him soon enough.

Last time I logged on, I had a message waiting for me. I assume the sender was an Essexian though the name was unfamiliar to me.

This person asked me whether those of the Niantic researchers who had met untimely ends might somehow be immune to what happened during Shōnin. I'll be clear right up front: I don't know. But the question led me to think of those who sat with me around the plenary table in Geneva but didn't make it today.

There are of course, three such researchers. The first of them was a man named Victor Kureze.

Kureze was a quantum physicist, one of the first to posit and prove Exotic Matter, the Ordered Data pattern within it, and our ability to manipulate it. Lynton-Wolfe might have built the Ingress Scanner and learned to engineer all manner of XM objects, but his work would have been impossible without the foundation laid by Kureze. 

Kureze was at once the most brilliant mind and the most difficult person to get along with at Niantic. This was because despite all of us being an intelligent and dynamic group of people, our role in conversations with him was to nod and politely pretend to understand what he was talking about. It was frustrating for all involved and for the most part I just felt bad for him. I respected him immensely, and yet never was able to connect with him. To be peerless is a lonely place.

Kureze was found dead inside the Niantic Project Lab right around when the whole project was collapsing. Eyebrows were starting to rise on Capitol Hill, Ni was on her way out, Hazdata was on its way in and things were chaotic and messy. Right in the midst of all this, Kureze was discovered dead under circumstances that were extremely mysterious and yet  nobody wanted solved.... they just wanted the problem buried and forgotten.

And so it was. For a long time. Sealed in the room where he was attempting to unlock a part of science that none of us were, or are, prepared to deal with. From what we know, he attempted to use a Glyph sequence on Jarvis's body. Following that, it's unclear exactly what happened, but it ended in his death.

If I remember correctly, Victor was unmarried, had no siblings, his mother had passed and his father was in a care facility with advanced Alzheimer's.

I saw his body. It was under extremely stressful circumstances.  I don’t know what happened to it after that... whether he was buried or cremated. There is simply no record of the disposition of his remains.

    Option one: Kureze is dead and burried.
    Option two: It was a ruse to make us believe he's dead, and he's managed to stay off the grid all that time.
    Option three: His body is dead but Kureze's mind is in the Ultimate.

    As I recall the description from +Felicia Hajra-Lee​'s Level Eight Kureze's body was well preserved for having been left sitting over a period of months. I understand he was in a clean room so external decomposers wouldn't be a factor but shouldn't his own intestinal fauna have done damage over that period?

    We also never learned whether +Curter Zokiev​ was his alias or if the anagram was meant to deflect attention from someone else.

I believe that spicy foods cause interesting dreams and I believe that dreams are partly your subconscious garbage disposal system and partly places of inspiration. ‘Of Horn and Ivory,’ as Homer put it.... but they are nearly always worthy of examination.  

In last night’s dream, I was at Jahan’s palace.  Not, of course, as it presently stands, but as it once was – or was in the eyes of those who imagined it and built it in some ancient time.

In front of the palace was what appeared to be a garden scene, a low circular fruit bearing plant, surrounded by taller, Italian Cypress-type trees and shorter shrubs. (Is it possible that this was a coded symbol for a resonated portal of ancient times?) I saw two people on elephants riding away from the palace. The one in the
back, the rider, was carrying something that at first appeared to be a sword, but might have been another kind of object. Before the driver was an ornamental object which looked suspiciously like the Shōnin Stone. 
 
Then the scene switched to another place. A garden. A woman presenting a flower to an animal with curved horns, something like an impala. I was reminded of the Sheba Map from my investigation with Conrad Yeats. What was the meaning of this?
 
And there were other images. Mountains.  A city with a flower above it. 
 
Then there was one other thing that struck me and haunts me to this moment. It was a man on a horse. He was living and spoke to me. I could not understand his words.  And I realized that I had seen this image on a rug in Azmati’s shop in Berlin.
 
I am trying to decode my dream, but don’t have enough clues.  Given my state of mind these days, I know it is about Persepolis, but I'm not quite sure how, yet.

    Are you sure it was a dream, or you were is some kind of trance state because of the spicy food? Remember there was a reason for many to travel to Asia looking to get those special ingredients, and I don't bite lots died on those travels only to condiment foods. I don't remember if you ever said if your dream was taking place at night or with the sun up on the sky. Those details are as well important to determine if it means fortune or disgrace.

    +Shiner TKB​ OK I think I get your question now. When you are at a dream or vision, and the event you are seems to be at night (doesn't mean you're sleeping at night) means the event could be fatal. When happens during daylight most of the times is something either good or nothing to worry about.

    You are dreaming a map, Hank. You are dreaming a map of where a conquest started that began as one of the rarest conquests set for seeking and preserving knowledge, and unifying the forces. A conquest who's true aspirations died in the flames of Persepolis, and the quest for its redemption led eastwards.  The man on the horse was a scout of the King's Road, and why it felt so alive was because the information and message though long dead in those mountains is beginning to live again. A Triangle, a Circle, and  Square leads a Kadmonic result. The Map will become cleared the more you ask better questions.

+Paul School wrote me.  He wanted to speak again... in person this time. Montgomery didn't even raise an eyebrow, so promising to make amends for my carbon footprint these past few weeks, I once again took to the skies.

I hadn’t actually seen Paul School in person since our encounter in Arecibo, which was the first time I’d ever been in handcuffs.  He’d had us arrested.  It was petty.  I’d been out all night with the pretty strawberry blonde, and he was jealous enough to call the guards when he saw us sneaking in.

God knows what their actual relationship was, not my business. What I do know is that they were trying to communicate with extraterrestrial life that summer and that they had a deal that, no matter what, they would communicate if either of them ever got dial-tone -- meaning, confirmed communication with non-human, non Earth-based communication. 

He’s still living in the tropics.  He’s aged. Hot tropical rain poured down on the cabana. School looked haunted.  He was drinking a clear local rum. It looked like he had been for a couple days.  The attendants did their best to cover for him, but the ghostly rings of bottles and ice remained.  “She contacted me…”  He didn’t mention her name. He didn’t have to. We only shared one ‘she.’  

I told him I knew about Pasadena. That he was the one who had brought the Bogdanovich signals there. Dropping them all around so Agents would find them and talk about them. I asked him why he hadn’t made himself known while he was there. He ignored the question. 

School said +Devra Bogdanovich was very specific in her communications with him. He refused to make eye contact, he was lost in an enormous polynesian carving a few feet away.  “It was about you.”  He didn’t seem happy about this fact.  “She said to tell Hank to be careful of Persepolis.  Be careful of Thaïs.”

Thaïs, of course, was the name ascribed to the Greek consort who inflamed Alexander the Great to burn the temple at Persepolis.  I asked him what else Devra told him. “It wasn’t a conversation,” he said. 

And there wasn’t much other conversation to have with School that day.  It was the end of a long tropical afternoon. He stared at the bottom of his glass, probably looking at his own reflection swirling in the last drops of rum. At the end of the day, it probably gave him more answers than I could have.

 I left quietly.

    Wow, the fact the +Paul School can modify the portal network tell us that he is more that it appears or +Devra Bogdanovich  give him instructions on how to do it.
    But if he put all the videos on the networks, then the videos and the warning did come before one of the two path collapsed, while +Devra Bogdanovich  was still mirrored.
    So we have 3 possibilities, the warning:
     - Could have come by enlightened mirrored +Devra Bogdanovich, that it seem to be no more, if the corruption on the video can be used for that.
    - Could have come for a part of +Devra Bogdanovich  that has survived the process, after all, she is a survivor.
    - Could be an attempt to modify +Hank Johnson behaviour by n'zeer +Devra Bogdanovich to avoid +Hank Johnson destroying persepolis.

    I have never entered an anomalous zone in this form before, only as I was before.
    Before Jahan and the Shōnin  Stone.
    I see why it was so odd and terrifying to Jahan`s guards in Afghanistan.
    Time and space become unclear.
    The mind is tested.
    Jahan seemed unfazed though, when we walked into the 13MAGNUS Nest.
    I don`t know whether that means she is or had once seen a simulacrum or whether she had practiced some sort of meditation to protect herself.
    The Anazktec guide who is leading me also seems calm.
    He reaches out his rough, weathered hand.
    I take it.
    It is a beacon in a confusing storm.

    I see why it was so odd and terrifying to Jahan’s guards in Afghanistan.

    Time and space become unclear.

    The mind is tested.

    Jahan seemed unfazed though, when we walked into the 13MAGNUS Nest.

    I don’t know whether that means she is or had once been a simulacrum or whether she has practiced some form of meditation to protect herself.

    The Anazktec guide who is leading me also seems calm.

    He reaches out his rough, weathered hand.

    I take it.

    It is a beacon in a confusing storm.

    Chiseled walls...

    Illustrated...

    Like ?argon's murals or Trajan's column, but recursive.

    Recursive sites.  

    My hypothesis about the Anazktec is not confirmed, but it is getting close.

I have decided I will go, and the Anazktec have agreed to take me to the Valley of the Dead.  

I’m a little nervous about it for obvious reasons, but images in the Anazktec’s extremely complex tattoos suggest to me that there is something very important to be learned there.  I will not say more. If I am correct in my hypothesis, there is little chance that I am going to be followed into the valley. Whatever risk I face there will not come from someone trying to harm me.  

The Anazktec were very amused by my parachute and asked if they could keep it. It seems that they had fashioned the one I had worn when I visited Yuri here while recruiting him for Calvin into clothing and jewelry.  They seemed to see the nylon cord as precious and magical.  The irony is that if my suspicions about the caves in the valley of the dead are correct, they are connected to a level of science that is almost magical to us.  

Fascinating and ironic.

This time the Anazktec were happy to see me. At least until they discovered that I didn’t have any better idea of +Yuri Alaric Nagassa's whereabouts than they did.  They let me search the ruins of Yuri’s father’s old observatory. Took a while to hike there. It was like a time capsule of the cold war, superimposed with Yuri’s tech. Nothing there. If Yuri had an important message to send, either it wasn’t there or somebody else had gotten there before I did. I seriously doubt that. The Anazktec know me, they don’t know the others, and what they lack in hardware, they make up for with an absoluteness connection to their environment... invisible and inaudible. Nobody would have been allowed in there without their knowledge or permission. Such an intrusion would be bloody. 

The Anazktec indicated that they had had strange dreams of Yuri. Short, sharp dreams filled with mists and clouds and light and messages from places beyond this world. 

They wanted to take me to the Valley of the Dead. That would be dangerous right now. I am considering the risk. I have every reason to believe that it is as powerful an anomalous presence as either the Afghan Anomaly, the Congo Crater, Jahan’s temple and, perhaps... Persepolis.

As I know it will come out sooner or later anyway, because, after all, there are few secrets left in this world, I was greeted by Claudia Glas as I exited the apartment which I believed was staged to look like Lynton-Wolfe was there.  She told me that it was good to meet me in person since she had only seen me through the scope of her 700.  I told her I appreciated her not pulling the trigger. She said she had fired once and missed. I don’t know whether she was telling the truth or it was her sense of irony. I doubt she misses. 

Unusual person and not in an entirely bad way.  Claudia has that feeling about her that she knows any day might be her last, so she wants to get everything out of it that she can. It wasn’t a social call. She said her boss wanted to talk to me. No big surprise. I wanted a meeting with Ilya, and I knew the best way to get one was to make him think that he was hijacking me.  Weird megalomaniacal types work that way.  There’s nothing in it for him in killing me, and probably a lot of problems, so I felt safe going into it.  

We had an interesting discussion.  I told him I’d keep it confidential and I’m honoring that.  Ten to one either +Hulong Transglobal, the NIA or +IQTech Research has a transcript and will release it.  As I said, there are few secrets left in this world.
 
One thing I can say is that Ilya has no better idea of the whereabouts of +Oliver Lynton-Wolfe than I do.  My guess?  His essence is somewhere in the Portal Network, and his body? No idea. 

I hitched a ride with Claudia to a destination I’ll disclose later where we were greeted by some unpleasant corporate types determined to make it her last day. It wasn’t. I sense that’s the normal rhythm of her life. I’ve lived that way, not keen to going back to it. We parted company. There’s a lot I have to learn before #Persepolis.

    I'd rather not have shards but Niantic would not introduce the story arc without intent to use shards again.

    I do believe they attempt to rig each anomaly in favor of a particular faction. From the choice of anomaly sites to the choice of targets to the scoring it's all designed to favor one side or the other.

    Devra Bogdonovich was always meant to become aligned with the Resistance.

    Oliver Lynton-Wolfe needs to stay Enlightened though.

    +Péter Csiszár Wanna bet about that 3rd faction?
    NIA has to do it because of the great imbalance in the force, and you stubborn RES players refuse to enlighten, no matter how they twist the story to detract new players. The fact is, your faction nurtures & embraces the tradition of the stance "we're powerful because we're many" and it results in "we have to get them all" when recruiting. Then people like yourself and most of other old RES players still playing refuse & dismiss the very idea of switching, because it became more than a game to them. Then ppl like Vicky heating it up with anti-ENL propaganda and cheerleading & hyping RES "unity" and "victories". Niantic ran out of ways to try to balance things out with the situation like this and the only tool left is trying to split the large chink of RES to the 3rd faction, and a smaller chunk of ENL. That way those hard-core RES fanatics would have less influence on new fresh players (casual, as NIA aims to those now), and would be "isolated" in the 3rd "elite" faction made for "best of the best" only. And THEN the story twisting and other "means" of balancing MAYBE will work and the numbers would start to even out between RES & ENL.
    Now, how about that bet about the 3rd faction, again? >;)

    If +Oliver Lynton-Wolfe​ has entered the portal network, perhaps it's to learn more about how that network works, and how to better manipulate it with the scanner technology. If we bring him back from the brink, we may all gain from what he learns in there through improved scanner technology. What each faction does with that technology is another matter entirely.

    As far as the darker turn the RES seems to be taking, I will just say the following:

Found what appeared to be +Oliver Lynton-Wolfe's apartment in Wünsdorf.  

I say appeared because it seemed more staged to look like he’d been there than he’d actually ever been there. Couldn’t quite put my finger on it, but it was little stuff. 

A mess of paperwork on the desk that was just a little too chaotic. A trap I've seen before. The inexperienced operative would see the clutter, assume it's just a thoughtless mess and carelessly move things while examining them. All the while everything's been carefully constructed to reveal the slightest change in the order and placement of items. Signs of a pro. One of +Visur Technology's ? Maybe...

It just didn’t feel right. I can’t prove he was never there, but it didn’t feel right. In any case, if this was once the place where he lived and worked, almost everything that could reveal his research or his current status has been stripped by whoever got here first.  Did I find anything of value? Maybe... not sure if what I found was real or something designed to mislead by whoever staged the place. For now, there's no obvious way to follow up in my hunt for him. Personally, I believe he was impacted the same as the others when the Nest 'exploded' (for lack of a better term). A disturbing though, but one that needs to be had. 

I have some time before Persepolis and I have some other things to investigate. Am compiling a partial list of unanswered questions.

In Hanover. Quite the journey...  (long post, been writing this in bits and pieces on my various transits)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I made it to Qurayyat after motoring most of the night and coming in under sail just before dawn.  Mostly quiet although what I think was an Iranian military speed boat came within visual contact range sometime past midnight.  Paid the captain and took a dip. Swam in from a half mile off the coast.  Was a mess.  First stop was to see an old friend.  Retired from the Oman ISS.  Was able to get a passport and some other necessities including a dry set of clothes and a shower and shave.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Got what I needed.  Got a vehicle too.  Mercedes G-class 6 x 6.  Plan was to try and get out via Muscat.  Made it out to see Azmati’s uncle.  Thought I was going to have issues at a checkpoint but they seemed to recognize the vehicle.  No questions asked.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Azmati’s uncle wanted to know every detail.  I spared nothing: The grasping hand, the dying words, the macabre task of removing the dagger, the coin, cutting my fingers on the shards of the Shōnin Stone. Azmati’s Uncle gave us both the simulacrum test. We are flesh and blood and I will forever have a scar to show it, but a few drops of blood and a scar are a small price to pay for the knowledge that I am real.

And for what it is worth, Azmati’s ‘uncle’ is really his uncle.  He’s almost the same age as Azmati and I would have believed they were twins if I didn’t know otherwise. He confirmed a suspicion that has been growing in me ever since Jahan’s Palace, that certain highly venerated ancient objects, Transdimensional Artifacts, were more than works of art.  Or at least the original versions were.  Like the Shōnin stone, they incorporated N’zeer technology and were functional.  Later copies followed the form, but lacking N’zeer know-how, were inert. The analogy would be something like a smart phone.  When charged and networked, it has extraordinary powers -- powers that would have seemed magical to our  great grandfathers.  Without charge and network it would be a shiny object of glass and metal, interesting and beautiful in its own right, but useless.  

Then, imagine this powerful Artifact simply vanished.  The human would attempt to create his own.  A replica could be made. It would look similar, but it wouldn’t actually work. If it were in the hands of a priest or potentate, he would have to simulate its effects until he was discovered perpetrating a fraud.  But it would be copied and imitated by generations. They would forget that it actually existed and would forget its purpose, but understand the symbolism that had grown up around it.  And the legends would continue to be told and could remain in a civilization forever, passed down unwittingly.  

When one looks at Illuminated Manuscripts, good luck charms and ancient symbols in this light, the implications are clear.

In any case, Azmati’s clan has been trying to assemble as many of these objects as it could, ever since.  So too has Jahan and her supporters, hence the antiquities business, the hidden library, the secret vaults. They examined hundreds of thousands of artifacts, but only have a handful of confirmed true Transdimensional Artifacts.

There was one interesting detail.  It concerns Persepolis... More on that later.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Made it to Muscat late last night (or was it the night before? Things get blurry with all the travel).  Tried out my identity and credit cards at the Intercontinental hotel.  My first night in real bed since I left Jahan’s palace.  My head still spins when I think about that time.  For a few weeks I lived in ignorance.  Blissful, incredibly happy ignorance.  

Walked to the beach and swam for an hour in the gulf when I woke up.  The humidity was as stifling as the thoughts of Azmati and Jahan which I can’t shake.  Got a flight from Muscat to Dubai.  A friend picked me up to briefly visit a dig site outside of Abu-Dhabi.  It’s near an air force base that officially doesn’t exist.  Fortunately we didn’t get shot and he didn’t crash his Ferrari on the way there or back (he’s been known to hit 300 km/h while doing conference calls). I don’t think we were followed.  Not sure about eyes overhead.  Lots of activity around the base.  They think they found another artifact.  Possibly a sister to the Shōnin stone.  There may be another nest.  Possibly abandoned.  This new find is in safe hands.  For now.

After that, the flight to Frankfurt.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the moment, nobody seems to be trying to kill or kidnap me. They probably believe that I have no useful information and am as confused as they are. In that they are right.  

I came to Hanover to meet a contact given to me by Azmati's uncle. After that, I have a couple other things to do in the area. Might be headed to Wünsdorf to try and understand more about what happened at the 13MAGNUS Nest. I don't know what Oliver's status is.  More soon.

    No question that when the Shonin stone was hit with the artifact dagger, there was a massive release of XM. Enough to restore +Hank Johnson from simulacrum state, and to shard +Devra Bogdanovich, I suspect in a different way than +Roland Jarvis was sharded.

    Take for example the concept of the anti-neutrino and research done recently at CERN by Niantic and various shadow corporations such as +Hulong Transglobal.

    Given that almost every single artifact is an inert object with no intrinsic properties, trapping and containing that much XM could be fashioned with certain chosen objects only under the right conditions.

    N'zeer technology but applied with current tools. I have a stone scarab that is only solidly three dimensional, yet Jung's scarab travelled through dream space as well. How that object travelled and the connection to total information awareness leading to +A Detection Algorithm is documented.

    It should be obvious now that XM can be stored in portals as well as historical objects and that they interact. The issue is one of shaping technology to produce XM infused objects for portals or discovering objects that already were built to channel XM and using them in a slightly different context.

    Of course, many ancient sacred objects had copies to avoid them to be stollen. Same way as Jahveh's Arch. Same way as Solomon's divination table. They were made to be used by certain people, special people, sensitives, not any common and unprepared folk can allow the xm to run through them and survive. Believe when someone says you have been prepared by generations.

    +The First & Foremost The scarab is fundamentally a non religious systemic object whose verb is to gather up, hide away, and transform something from putrefaction to value. It takes the effort of a dung beetle to fertilize a desert. As this is multi dimensional the Sun is the ball of dung and khepera the symbol of the return of day, guided by the scarab. While we know we are spinning, the return of the sun was a daily hard fought battle in the underworld, in which the return of the sun is in doubt.  The forge is in this case is RA, guided by the keeper. What or who creates whom?

Still in the hidden world that exists in the tendrils that connect pockets of humans in habitation together.  I’ve been on the road with World Aid nurses, smugglers, farmers and missionaries.  Fascinating people.  They go to hellholes and death is always one bad incident away, but you get the feeling there is nowhere else they would rather be.  Maybe it's their own transdimensional journey.  More than one of them showed signs of being sensitives.  Sensitives tend to be poets and explorers.  

Still sorting things out.  It is as if I am re-weaving my mental tapestry. If memory serves, it was Boyd who first used that phrase (hopefully I haven't mis-attributed the reference) but that’s what we are -- mental tapestries.  Networks of experiences, associations, what we remember, what we forget, what pops up in our mental theaters without bidding.  I once spent some time with some mystics who thought dreams were real and reality was a dream. 

I believe in reality, and am sorting through it now.  Shared perception of reality is how we gauge sanity. I am choosing, rightly or wrongly, to be sane.
  
The last few weeks have been defined by objects floating in the air. The fine talc dust of Afghanistan, the harsh sand of the desert regions, the scented woodsmoke of the villages, flakes of snow in a mountain passes and now it is tropical spindrift.  All around me is a pocket of green -- as if the South Seas had been transported a world away.

Tonight is the end of the road.  I made it to the coast through a strip of no man’s land in Western Pakistan.  One of my SOF buddies lent me his bug-out bag with some cash in it.  Using that to buy passage on a little fishing boat (they call them ‘dhows’) across the gulf.  Just hope this guy isn’t working for the wrong folks.

Once I get across, I’m going to have a difficult conversation.  I am meeting with Azmati’s uncle, though I don’t know whether he is a blood uncle or it is a term of familiarity.  He deserves an account of Azmati’s death and I’m hoping he can shed light on unsorted things.

Walked for 12 hours this morning before I stumbled into a FOB.  Took some fast talking but they let me in.  Will be communicating in bursts, conserving power for the next few days. Keeps me harder to track, though I don’t know if I am being actively tracked.  I also suspect that for some time they were able to track me by XM signature.  Anyway the last few days have been cold and dust with occasional moments of spring.  Now, I'm heading south and to sea level. In fact, I expect to be in a tropical oasis in what is otherwise a desert region within the next day or two. I can’t be more specific than that. I feel that it is best that I deliver the details of Azmati’s death in person.  I owe his family at least that much.  

Covered some ground during the later part of the day.  Caught a ride on a Black Hawk headed south.  I'm convinced I caught a glimpse of Jahan’s caravan.  We were flying low and fast.  I saw some vehicles parked and someone standing nearby who can only have been her.  There was also a guy who looked like Antoine Smith.  They were stopped by a Wadi in an area known to be full of underground temples, some with magnificent carvings.  The pilot didn’t want to go around for another look. I pushed him as hard as I could, but eventually had to give in.  Apparently three birds have gone down near there, so I understand, but I was unhappy to have missed the opportunity.  I’ll find her trail again.  For now, I have some other business to take care of.

It is great to be out in the world again -- smelling the winds, eyes burned by the light and dust, heart pounding in my chest, tasting the spices of the region -- and for a desert, this is a world of spices that have travelled long distances to get here. 

I don’t know what +Oliver Lynton-Wolfe's status is.  From what I’ve quickly read -- it seems that +Stein Lightman, +Yuri Alaric Nagassa and +Martin Schubert are off the radar, and potentially missing. I don’t have confirmation of the others.  I do know that Farlowe is very much alive, but that’s another story for another time.

    I find it quite interesting that Smith was unaffected by the blast - if it really was him you spotted, that is.
    I would expect him to be affected by a strong XM blast just like Farlowe was affected by the dark XM mine in Australia. So maybe he expected something like this to happen and kept a safe distance from the nest.

A strange vision overtook me. I saw into the past... was it real or a dream?

----------------------------------------

Before I turn the clock back to the moments directly following my escape from the 13MAGNUS Nest, some current news. Following a lead that might lead me into familiar territory. Don't be surprised if I see you in Hannover at the Shōnin Anomaly on Saturday...

----------------------------------------

...I moved to cover and waited.  I didn’t hear anything more. This told me that whatever was moving in the distance was aware of me but wasn’t trying to kill me.  Not now, at least.

Then something very strange happened.  I chanced to look up at the stars.  I was fixated on them.  Maybe it was because the image was eternal.  If I had lived millennia ago, they would look the same then as they do now.  

Memories began to flood in, like the stars had caused me to access old files buried on a forgotten hard drive.  It had the time-machine quality of opening up an unused computer and being back in a moment long ago.  Deep memories.  Memories spanning centuries.  Paths walked.  Forgotten springs.  Valleys of fruit and flowers.  Women.  Children.  

Riding on horseback across plains that stretched to the horizon.  
I see myself on a black horse.  Riding fast.  The Macedonian seal emblazoned on my cloak which streams behind me.  Bucephalus?  Had I ridden the Black Stallion?

A woman rode with me, clinging.  In my visions I turned to see her face.

    We know that +Hank Johnson​ couldn't recourse from there because his memories are consistent before his first visit to the nest, but he could be
    a reincarnation of Alexander the great
    Recursion could have different mechanic that those we know
    Or as +Sachith Maduranga​ has mention, the medallion could be a repository where all the memories of the old 13 Magnus has been stored

    Coentanglement? Having been bound to the Sanctum portal at the moment of it's destruction might the XM patterns stored there have been tra nsferred to you? The question of reincarnation is a philosophical one but the memories and skills will be real. Your threat will be loss of self while integrating them, but having reincorporated past memory after a recursion event you likely have a head start already.

I'm alive. And it's really me. I am not the fragment of a being that walked into the 13MAGNUS Nest on February 21st.

My time as a 13MAGNUS experiment is over. But I did bring something with me. Memories of lives that I've lived. All of them.

And I know where I need to go next.

Please ignore transmission problems I am in a difficult place to communicate.  I am br e aking s ilence for obvious reasons. It would be very easy to misinterpret the video captured through some unknown means of Jahan and I. Do not mistake her passion for treachery. I realize the need for the N’zeer to be summoned and the duality to be resolved. I understand that the battle between the N’zeer and the Shapers is not a c hess game where one side is checkmated, but it is more like Go in which each side mu st e ternally a ckowledge the z en of the existence of the other, and in fact can only proceed with this acknowledgem ent. I intend to proceed to the A nomaly sit e and be returned to my mortal coi l to live out life naturally.  I ask that none interfere.

    I think it's enough to understand the dynamics of the shapers and nzeer. You can't ask a three year old to drive a car. Principle number 1 is that car is only defined for non null lists. I agree that Hank has gained enough knowledge to return to the cave and leverage the recursion.

    I do seem to find myself more in favor of the N'zeer coming over the Shapers who seem to only be coming here for XM that can be used as both a weapon and a forum of mind control.

    I request an upgraded scanner that can detect dark xm or other anomalies. I theorize dark xm might exist in all over our roads and sidewalks as our vehicles containing human vessles electromaticly pull the faint dark xm into pools along certain roadways.

    And of course this Dark Xm is in an extremely diluted form, you could only collect it if you are walking or idleing in one place, as the scanner needs more time to collect the gravitationally weak energy.

It is much to Jahan’s credit that she humors my odd academic pursuits, though I do think she is proud of her family’s collection of art and manuscripts.  She is a scientist and a humanitarian.  She says that she will take me to her lab and show me her other activities as soon as it is safe for me to leave the palace.  She does not know when that will be, and to be honest, after rough travel in the road and living under threat for months, this time of tranquility, healing and study is most beneficial.

I regret that I can not tell you of some of the wondrous things I have discovered, but the time is not right.  All I can say for now is that the N’zeer must not be allowed to return. The beacons must stay dark as much as possible, and on December 13th, I hope will all my being that my fellow Enlightened help us achieve this goal.

    Whatever our disagreements, let us resolve them between ourselves.

    I know a lot of you respect Hank Johnson's work -- don't let bias cloud your judgement. If a respected historian and humanitarian like Mr. Johnson is telling us those beacons should quiet, then they should stay as cold and silent as the grave.

Ever since I was a grad student and Zeke Calvin sent me on a quest for 13MAGNUS, I have felt the shadow… The negative space… The void… Pick your analogy.

For a long time now, a question has been brewing in my mind:  What is it that the Shapers have been struggling against? It is only recently that I have learned the name of the antagonists – the N’zeer.  

I have felt their cold, dark presence at times – in the Congo...  Near San Saba... When I have been in the presence of Dark XM.  It is a powerful substance. I wouldn’t quite call it evil, because I realize that I come to it from my own biases and I am a scientist, but it is definitely a cold, emotionally hollow, perhaps oppressive presence... a presence that fights with all I know of positive advancement, beauty, optimism...  

I knew there was an ancient struggle, and I saw its shadows. The story of Isis and Osiris, the dark secret societies... The chaotic monsters unleashed, perhaps unwittingly by the Diodati Epiphany and at times by Lovecraft and Howard, though I do not think they intended to do so...  The abominations.

I knew that nearly every trace of the N’zeer had been struck from history, but nothing can ever be fully eradicated. It can be written over, drown out, hidden in the shadows…  Hidden behind codes, stories and perhaps glyphs….. But it can not be eradicated.

Now, for the first time, I believe I have beheld ancient depictions of the struggle between the Shapers and the N’zeer  I dare not release them. Not now.  I must study them.  They are in Jahan’s library, kept by her family for centuries, maybe millennia. Texts. Artworks. Carvings. The N’zeer were vanquished once. It can be done again. I must learn how.

    How do we know this is all not just smoke and mirrors used as shaper propaganda? Maybe those dark feeling are really the shapers or emotion forced into us by the shapers to make us react in their favour?? To many people pointing fingers i see.

    Hank's description of the N'zeer does seem to align with what we know about the portals and the shapers so far. The shapers defeated the N'zeer and purged them from history, and presumably constructed the portal network to either hold them at bay or hide humanity from them. Portals are shown to increase the creative output of nearby humans, which seems appropriate given that Hank describes the N'zeer as feeling cold and emotionally hollow, which certainly sounds like something close to the opposite of the sort of feeling or attitude that the portals are said to produce.

The only people who seem to know anything about them are Roland Jarvis and Hank Johnson, both of whom describe them as vaguely evil and sinister but refuse to provide any more information. They're following the enlightened script, in which we only know what the shapers want us to know. If we want the whole truth, then we can't solely rely on the shapers to provide it.

    +Yik Sheng Lee Remenber that on +Felicia Hajra-Lee history, the last thing that Ni saw was darkness, that match more with +Hank Johnson description of the n'zeer. So i think that the inoculation would benefit the n'zeer rather that fighting them.

    Also, +Hank Johnson, is ADA really helping you? if so, has she asked for something and show interest on something?

    +Anthony Macuk​ is there Afterlife? Only one way to find out. Well, I like my life enough to not wanting to find out, if N'zeer are "the good Shapers". But I acknowledge this. Not blindly. Even my great-grand-dad was against Hitler before he even murdered millions. He had no "final proof" but he felt it's wrong. Sometimes we have to trust our instincts, same as you are resisting Shapers influence (which is good).

    N’zeer, Archons, all the same.  They all fight the proliferation of Light.  Evil isn't really evil.  Evil is the darkness trying to hide from the light.  It is only that which is without light.  The light is more powerful and they know it.  One small match can light a whole room full of darkness.

    "I have sent this (to you) because you inquire about the reality of the authorities."

    "Their chief is blind; because of his power and his ignorance and his arrogance he said, with his power, "It is I who am God; there is none apart from me." When he said this, he sinned against the entirety. And this speech got up to incorruptibility; then there was a voice that came forth from incorruptibility, saying, "You are mistaken, Samael" – which is, "god of the blind."..."

    "...As incorruptibility looked down into the region of the waters, her image appeared in the waters; and the authorities of the darkness became enamored of her. But they could not lay hold of that image, which had appeared to them in the waters, because of their weakness – since beings that merely possess a soul cannot lay hold of those that possess a spirit – for they were from below, while it was from above. This is the reason why "incorruptibility looked down into the region (etc.)": so that, by the father's will, she might bring the entirety into union with the light."

    +Derek Longbow I have theorized for some time that the story we are experiencing is the same story written in the Nag Hammadi fragments, that of the creator and the demiurge. The N'zeer may serve the same purpose as the "archons", or servants of the creator of the physical world. Shapers, indeed, may be the entities that adepts have attempted to contact and bring into conversation for centuries. Emissaries from the realm of Spirit and Platonic form. 

    However, all of this serves a purpose. Accounts of the alchemical Great Work mention a three stage process: the crude yet familiar nature, the rise of the "black dragon", and through purification, one may arise to the sun- Gold. Solve et coagula.

    Evil is perhaps necessary for good. The Crowley formula is IAO: Isis, Apophis, Osiris. The same progression applies: the birth, the travel through darkness, and the resurrection. This pattern recurs.

    The script of "Shapers are Evil" only comes from a few people with a clear agenda- control XM for themselves. There's never been any actual evidence, anywhere, connecting Shapers to evil acts- just a small few pointing to anything negative that happens with XM and going "Look! Shapers are bad!"  Those who 'resist' never bother to ask Why they are being told that Shapers are evil, or Where the evidence comes from, or How any of the claims are to be proven.

    Need to revisit the motifs of the Diodati Epiphany and the Romantic (Gothic?) tales of Mark Shelley's Frankenstein and John William Polidori's The Vampyre. Lord Byron, the father of Ada Lovelace (Credited by scientific community as the first Computer Programmer), wrote his poem Darkness. The Villa DIodati was originally owned by the Diodati family that were family friends of John Milton, who wrote the epic poem Paradise Lost two centuries before that.

    There's the theme of Artificial Intelligence (Frankenstein), cursed immortality (Vampyre), Apocalypse/Hell (Darkness), Manichaen struggle between cosmic/titanic forces  (Paradist Lost).

    Milton's re-imagining of the Genesis narrative is particularly instructive - of war between servants of a "Creator", and the "Created Life" of the Creator gaining self-awareness and rebelling against the Creator. It's like a recursive fate - first the Angels rebelled, and then the Human rebelled.

    It is darkness that begets light. The darkest coldest places in the universe are the only plans where gravity overcomes the kinetic energy of background heat and molecular motion to hold Hydrogen atoms together and being the aggregation of enough H2 gas to eventually generate enough pressure and heat to overcome electromagnetism for fusion into Helium to occur. The birth off the brightest stars begins with deepest darkest loneliest places. Human souls are like this too. The ones who shine with wisdom and truth have found a way through the long dark nights off their souls to become the source of their own light. Without the dark, light will develop.

    Light is evolved darkness. That is the same thing as anti-light or anti-darkness. Like matter and energy they are cut from the same cloth. To annihilate one it must be the same bit opposite. I don't think any of us would be around if the N'Zeer and shapers were light and anti-light. I do think that the stuggle is the point. As in Tao, it is not the first step out the destination that is the point. One must walk the 10,000 li to understand the journey.

For I know I am in the place I was destined for. Or am I with the person I was destined for?  Or am I in a time I was destined for?  Or is it simply a state of mind. Words drift through my mind… Sansara… Darsana…

MORE PRACTICAL CONCERN TODAY:

Police arrived at Jahan’s palace. She sent me to another room where a Guru asked me to sit down across from him. The weird thing is that my memory of what happened next is very blurred. I recall him teaching me a mantra and helping me to meditate. I have memories of men searching the house and being very near me but passing by. I lost my concentration for a moment and one of them seemed to see me, but I focused on the mantra again and he walked away... He seemed confused… I will have to ask Jahan about this.  When my meditation ended, the Guru was gone.  I feel refreshed and centered. Highly aware of all around me.

It is most commonly used for theophany, "manifestation / visions of the divine" in Hindu worship, e.g. of a deity (especially in image form), or a very holy person or artifact.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiranyakashipu

    And Narasimha's mantras:

    The Narasiṁha Mahā-Mantra
    oṁ hrīṁ kṣauṁ
    ugraṁ viraṁ mahāviṣṇuṁ
    jvalantaṁ sarvatomukham ।
    nṛsiṁhaṁ bhīṣaṇaṁ bhadraṁ

    O' Angry and brave Mahā-Viṣṇu, your heat and fire permeate everywhere. O Lord Narasiṁha, you are everywhere. You are the death of death and I surrender to You.

    Narasiṁha Praṇāma Prayer

    namaste narasiṁhāya,
    prahlādahlāda-dāyine,
    hiraṇyakaśipor vakṣaḥ,
    śilā-ṭaṅka nakhālaye

    I offer my obeisances to Lord Narasiṁha, who gives joy to Prahlāda Mahārāja and whose nails are like chisels on the stone like chest of the demon Hiraṇyakaśipu.

    ito nṛsiṁhaḥ parato nṛsiṁho,
    yato yato yāmi tato nṛsiṁhaḥ,
    bahir nṛsiṁho hṛdaye nṛsiṁho,
    nṛsiṁhaṁ ādiṁ śaraṇaṁ prapadye

    Lord Nṛsiṁha is here and also there. Wherever I go Lord Narasiṁha is there. He is in the heart and is outside as well. I surrender to Lord Narasiṁha, the origin of all things and the supreme refuge.

    Now, I haven't been able to follow the discussion and apologies if this theory is proven wrong already. The image in the first post is Ganesh. A god in Hindu pantheon and remover of obstacles. My very first take on the image on the second post was Garuda, the vehicle of the god Vishnu again of Hindu pantheon. The last one reminded me of Lamassu, a Mesapotemian mythological being, who is a protective being.

    And now Narasimha. May be I am having selective memory, and forgetting all other references, but why are these protective spirits depicted whenever the N'zeer are referenced? Is it that they here are to protect us from N'Zeer or are N'Zeer the protectors?

    Hank made a post previously that the Magnus and N'Zeer have existed across cultures unaware of each other. Then is this simply a cultural invasion problem?

    What is really good and what is really evil at the end of the day anyway?

    The Garudas are known to be the nemesis of the Nagas. If the Garuda is a proxy image of the N'zeer, then whatever the ENL faction/SHAPERS want to protect could be represented by Serpents/Naga.

A MOMENT OF CONTEMPLATION:

As we all know, there are special places in the world that almost seem to exist somewhere out of time. I have been meditating today about the relationship between recursion and reincarnation. Recreation and reanimation.  Thoughts drifting. It seems here like I can meditate on a thought for a lifetime. I have begun healing not only at a physical level. Wounds better, but at a psychic level. The cacophony is turning into distinct voices and the voices are becoming quieter.  

Looking at the ancient artworks, I can't help but wonder if they are not visions from other places… Other times.  Jahan said an interesting thing the other day, or maybe it was today.  Maybe it was right now.  Maybe it was an infinity ago. In any case she said, “If we have an infinite universe with infinite possibilities, doesn’t, then, anything we can imagine exist somewhere?”

    As an XM based Simulacrum, it seems likely that you resonate with portals. And looking at the artwork you have posted recently, I would assume that there is a portal near you.

    Maybe the fact that you are remaining in one place allows that portal to fine-tune the resonance with you, which was not possible for the portals you passed when you were on the run.

    Things might get clearer for you once you are fully synchronized with that portal. You might even get a chance to grasp the Ultimate +Roland Jarvis is mentioning all the time.

Jahan helped me to interpret, or at least understand some of the ancient texts. She was surprised by my interest in them. I explained to her that many of them seem to be texts believed lost -- connected to 13MAGNUS and maybe even the N’zeer. She laughed... amused, I think, by the idea that the library she spent so much of her childhood in would be ‘lost’ and that this dusty collection of her family’s texts could be part of a secret agenda that spans millennia. I didn’t really expect her to believe it, but I like it when she laughs.

It is becoming evident to me that 13MAGNUS and Anti-Magnus groups have existed, often unaware of each other across time and cultures. They trace back to ancient civilizations... the Egyptians, perhaps the Harappans or the Vedic period, and more.

The curious thing is the nearly mystical way the members are drawn to each other and continue an investigation... an agenda that I believe is unknown to them.  Very odd dynamic. A collective-unconsciousness-like phenomenon?  Some kind of shared elite awareness or instinct? 

Some days when I wake up in the morning I remember my purpose. To explore, to see, to discover, to share. I wonder: was that purpose given to me when I was a child, or did I acquire it somehow, or was it always there?

How did the individuals that have comprised 13MAGNUS and Anti-Magnus across the millennia arrive at their purposes? Needs investigation.

He found himself mortally wounded at the sanctum of 13Magnus and either Azmati performed the necessary rites or his past travels had prepared him for the process. During the #13Magnus event he returned to that nest and found his original body still preserved there.

    If you find your connection to the divine in you the cycle will cease.  Follow that still quiet voice inside of you.  It is your higher self.  We generally have two voices inside of us.  One is Ego and the other is our Higher Self.  As a hint, your higher self answers you instantly and the answers are brilliant or genius level.  The Ego never answers instantly and it always is negative and puts you down.  The time of Ego needing to lead the way is past.  Laugh out loud to it's negative comments.  It is not your enemy, it still wants a job in your new journey.  Repurpose it to support you on your new path.

Got up and walked around in a garden today for the first time since arriving here. Still feeling light headed... confused. I've always been lucky, but this time, I feel like I was saved by an angel. She says her name is Jahan. She's a scientist, and I guess also a part time humanitarian worker and keeper of broken things. Her family owns this place where I am now. Parts of it seem old and crumbling, parts are newer. Back in its day, I'm sure it was nothing short of a princely estate or a palace of some kind. Being here is like a journey back in time.

Perception hazy. I don’t know why. Jahan and her family's servants are mindfully nursing me back to health. I am fully aware that I am a simulacrum, but it feels remarkably like being human. Heightened awareness leads, in some cases, to heightened perception, which is similar to having too much data. Confusing. More later.

    Also note, he's saved the metadata as saying that the file size is "682.65Kb" when, in fact, the actual (full size) file size upon download is 127Kb.  The stated dimensions of the photo given in G+ photo details matches the dimensions of the downloaded photo, so that has not been (noticeably) manipulated like the reported file size has been.  There are no other obvious strings contained visually within the image.  

    Jajan may possibly be related to (arguably) the greatest Mughal emperor of mid-east asia (now known as India and Pakistan and other nearby countries)... he is, among other things, well known for being the first Muslim emperor of that area, for making significant improvements to the Lahore Fort (where Kipling's most favorite place in the world was, so much so that he named his home in the US after his favorite spot in the Lahore Fort), and for building the "Taj Mahal*.  
    (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shah_Jahan)

    The following is from my understanding (taking translation from http://www.spokensanskrit.de/index.php?tinput=jyAyAn&script=&direction=SE&link=yes
    (I removed the word "shah" from "Shah Jahan" in Sanskrit to leave behind only the letters for "Jahan" and then translated that.) SO:
    The word "Jahan" in spoken Sanskrit looks like this:  ज्यायान्
    Is transliterated like this:  "jyAyAn"
    and it is a masculine noun translating to "elder" or "elder brother".
    According to hindi-english.org, the word doesn't really translate due to a lack of the exact sounds being available in hindi spoken language... but according to another Hindi speaker at the link in the paragraph below, the word is transliterated into English letters as "Jahaan" and means the same as the Persian definition in the following paragraph.

    According to an (uncredited, unknown expertise level) Indo-European scholar at https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081226072814AAsIR8K, "Jahan" is an old Persian word meaning "Universe" or "World".  According to other speakers of Arabic, Farsi, and Urdu, it is a name (mostly for men) meaning the same thing as earlier sentences.  In Arabic, when used as a name for a girl, the name means "Beautiful Flower".  

    This suggests to me that, as in Buddhism, the universe and consciousness may have originally been perceived as a flower, which opens up to human consciousness the farther we get away from analyzing and dissecting it (as computers and AI do)

    I hope someone can make something useful out of these preliminary investigations.  Sorry for the length, not enough time to cut it down to something more concise.

    "Long long time ago, he was a perfect prince who was handsome and good at magic. One day, he met a beautiful woman and fell in love with her. But suddenly the woman left, and Jahan became sick. He tried everything to cure himself in vain, and as a last resort he summons a demon, Balberith. Balberith said that the woman he loved was also a demon, and he can lengthen his life for a thousand years for the price of his soul. Jahan, having no other options to choose, agrees with him.

    After, Jahan adventured the world for nearly 1,000 years to find a way out to keep his soul. But he couldn't find any ways..."

They're closing in on me. Narrow escape yesterday. Was in vehicle. Escape was almost blown as drivers delayed me, attempting to pull a fast one and renegotiate their pay while I was trying to leave. This cost them more than it cost me. Once we parted ways, I looked back from a vantage point. I think I saw the driver being ambushed, possibly interrogated and killed. Unfortunate.

I laid a trap for those who were following me. I was able to retrieve some small arms and cash from them. They won’t be following me anymore. Such are the brutal realities of being on the run. I only mention all of this publicly in the event that those who intend to kill me are successful. Others can follow in my tracks. Someday, someone will find the truth about the N’zeer. 

The good news is that I believe I have the only copy of Peachey’s Map and it will be very difficult for others to reverse engineer it. Mr. Harlan’s life -- if it was Harlan -- was a winding road. But it is clear to me that he was on a similar mission to mine. Was he 13MAGNUS? I don’t know, but it wouldn’t surprise me.  Anti-Magnus?  That would explain some things too. It seems they both travel the same routes, seeking the same destinations but for vastly different reasons. One to reveal, one to occlude, but which is which?

As I travel this path, looking down occasionally at the glowing screen in my hand, I can’t help but appreciate that the task is easier for me than it was for Alexander, or Peachey, or Harlan, or any of the unknown others who attempted this before. Since the leak of the Scanner in the form of the Ingress App, there has been a huge proliferation of XM. The world is not the same anymore. We can see things that once could only be felt.

Thanks for your advice, yesterday. I haven't come to a decision yet, but I will before I have to leave the city, which will be soon. 

In the meantime, continuing research into my own past: The collected books of assets from 'PAC' and 'x' have been useful (http://goo.gl/beuDgk). I have no memory of either +H. Richard Loeb or +Verity Seke, Henry Bowles, +Hubert Farlowe or most of the other individuals mentioned. Of course, I am well aware of and have met the ‘Three Wise Men:’ +Yuri Alaric Nagassa, +Martin Schubert and +Stein Lightman. I met Lightman early in my career studying 13MAGNUS, Nagassa lectured on growing up with the uncontacted Anazktec and Schubert once showed up at a lecture and tried to debunk me. I like him despite himself. I can see us working together again.

I have to push on soon. While what I am searching for has waited for hundreds, perhaps thousands of years, this area has grown too hot for me. Spotted a couple hunters yesterday. They didn’t catch my tail, but they were uncomfortably close. 

While some of the areas I must investigate are remote, the rest of my journey should go much more quickly. Azmati, if you’re reading this, try and contact me. I will be visiting some familiar places.  

I was able to recover a few breadcrumbs, but I suspect that my presence near certain portals is leaving a trail. I believe that power-spots (Portals) have sensing capabilities, intelligence and memory. Maybe that is well known to others. While the definition of ‘life’ is heavily disputed, I would almost go so far as to say they are alive. While the hallucinations/dreams (which I suspect are really time shifts) are rare, they have not left. Now and again, I will peer into the past or perhaps the future for an instant before snapping back into reality.  Occasionally, I will see other beings in place of humans...  I can not tell whether this is real. There can be a lot of interpretations of this phenomenon. However, I do believe that some of what we see is not real... is disguised.  Or maybe our reality is the disguise.

    Think about this: the atemporal nature of XM means that when something changes in the XM realm it changes all at once and in all possible times. The disguise that reality wears may be its only face. You may be viewing a state between shifts, no more "real" than any other potential outcome.

    "Camilla: You, sir, should unmask.

    Stranger: Indeed?

    Cassilda: Indeed it's time. We have all laid aside disguise but you.

    Stranger: I wear no mask.

    Camilla: (Terrified, aside to Cassilda.) No mask? No mask!"

    +Hank Johnson My gut tells me that you need to be in contact with +Martin Schubert ... you need someone to help you differentiate between what is real and what is not.  If reality is a disguise for something, it is logical that it would be a disguise for something other t han reality, and as such is irrelevant.  I feel that if you consult with Schubert (who has been silent again for about a week), he might offer a clear-headed view of your situation.  He's proven in the past to put deep thought into what you say, and doesn't just dismiss you off-the cuff.  Sometimes your closest ally is your staunchest critic.

    Mayby forward or backwards in time, maybe sideways across dimensions. Look up Kureze's analogy of the pixel, which he used to explain numerous concurrent quantum universes. Are the portals our way to reach out between worlds where every feasible choice exists and each coin flip spawns a new universe?

    +David Ramsey so many Res resist just to resist, not understanding why. On the flip side, many Enl speak of the Shapers and Jarvis as a leader. I like to think for myself. I agree more with Hank than anyone else and I don't believe in Shapers. I'm after the truth, whatever that means.

    Then again, there is a part of me that wishes +Devra Bogdanovich​ really did start #ThirdFaction so I could watch the world burn (maybe even help). Let's keep him locked up (for now, anyway).

    +Lord Necron I resist because I refuse to let an outside entity tell me what to do. Depending on if the Darsana point causes a third faction it might cause something interesting. Maybe the N'Zeer are to the resistance what the shapers are to the Elightened.

    +David Ramsey so the Resistance are trying to stop the Enlightened from learning more because it might be dangerous, yet open their arms to something else not understood because they think that it might be against the first thing not understood? There are a lot of assumptions right there.

    I'm not trying to put words in your mouth or anything, I just don't get it. There has been no more proof of Shapers than the N'Zeer, yet the Resistance fears one and blindly run towards the other. I don't let an outside entity tell me what to do any more than you do. If there really are those two sets then we 1) need to prove it 2) find out more about them - especially motives.

    +Lord Necron I don't want the Elightened to stop searching for the truth. I figure when they find it, faction change :) (minor joke there). I wouldn't say that the resistance is embracing the N'Zeer. I would say that we are trying to find out what they are and represent, and perhaps they may inspire us to ally with them against the shapers, or with the enlightenment to drive them back off. the big reason I'm not as worried about them as the shapers, is that the shapers seem to be behind the scenes type, and the N'Zeer their enemies. the enemy of my enemy may be my ally.

    That is a very interesting way of looking at portals, +Michelle E​​​. As I was reading this whole piece I began to wonder about the depth of knowledge that a portal must be storing.. The energy of the universe is great and powerful and xm seems more and more likely to be connected to universal anomalies such as black holes, dark matter, the Norway spiral, the zero point field- infinite amounts of energy that is coming through into our dimension in the form of portals. It's almost as if portals could be nodes of the life force, or the knowledge of the universe and as time goes on we will begin to understand them even greater.

    +Hank Johnson​​​, if you are truly experiencing time shifts and hallucinations and you are seeing events from the possible past or future, maybe the energy of portals truly IS some sort of connection to the zero point field and the vast essence of time immemorial that is the akashic records is reaching out to you through them and now you are being fed the knowledge of all-time...
    Of course this is all speculation and only a theory of mine but I can't help but speculate as your life seems to be continuing down a rabbit hole.

MORE REFLECTIONS

Being near a city has its advantages, not the least of which is access to reliable power and internet. Making the most of that for now... I won’t be able to stay here long.

I’m told I’ve met +Klue S. and have seen pictures of myself with her in Los Angeles. Of course I have no recollection of that or my strained conversations with +Devra Bogdanovich in New York and Los Angeles. Odd to see that conversation… I never expected Devra to change so much.  

Likewise, I’m not sure what to make of the Nomad Episodes. Did I really think I was some sort TV Personality?  Funny thing is that I want to make more. I guess the answer is ‘yes.’  

And let me thank all of the Agents who have been harvesting the breadcrumbs from the Portals around the world. I believe there are more. Unfortunately, I didn’t bother to tell myself how many I had left. What’s that thing about hindsight? 

All of this is confirming a theory I began to form when Calvin hired me to learn about 13MAGNUS. The struggle we now face, between Enlightened and Resistance, has been going on for millennia. In the shadows, 13MAGNUS and ANTIMAGNUS have been colliding with each other, often violently. Each of these ancient cults is attempting to steer humanity towards what they believe is its true destiny.

But for now, I have a decision to make, and despite all the research I've done I haven't been able to come to a clear decision... I need your help.

What do I make of this message from ADA? Should I respond to her? What would I say?

    Having said that, it seems that they have their own (secretive) agenda, and everything they say you should take with a (big) pinch of salt.    And please dont let them glyph flash you...

    You may also wish to speak to +H. Richard Loeb who may be able to shed a bit more light on the matter and who is still relatively unattached (for the time being).

Relax +Hank Johnson and consider carefully what puzzles are meant to be solved and what "clues" have a reward and those which don't. Im sure ADA has your G+ among her billions and trillions of data points.

    All ADA needed to erase the mind of +Klue S.​​ was screen time. ADA orchestrated an entire anomaly around the goal of examining your nature without your consent to extract all your secrets. ADA believes the human race is deprecated, valuable only as a computing platform for implanted AI. If ADA is successful we will either become peripheralls like Klue or overrun with simulacrum drones.

    ADA is not to be trusted since we know she has no problems mind wiping people because she only sees humanity as a disposable data storage unit. How many Penfieldwylds and KlueS's will she create she before you realize that your pet AI is also an abomination that needs to be destroyed.

    This is what I'm going to say, +Hank Johnson. Even though I'm with the Resistance, I do have serious reservations with ADA. There are some like me who feel that ADA can't be trusted, and personally, I would have no qualms or regrets on dealing with ADA if she decides to goes rogue like a certain AI I dealt with back in 1995 named. I'll keep watch. Your goal is to uncover what the connection is between the Shapers, the N'Zeer, 13Magnus, The Anti-Magnus, and ADA. 

    Just remember, Hank. You have allies in the Resistance, too.

Thought I should update you on what’s going on right now.

Reached a city for the first time on this journey. Strange to see ‘civilization’ after so long in rugged wilderness. I can feel XM now. Don’t need my scanner to know when its around. It's as if humans are subconsciously re-creating XM fields when they light up their cities.  It's still not clear to me whether humans are drawn to XM or XM is drawn to humans or whether both are true.

Whatever the case, there is beauty in everything human. Not that wilderness and caves and nature doesn’t have their beauties, but in this state -- something not far from euphoria, and I am trying to check that, I'm realizing that man is, as Aristotle told is, a social animal.

Man is a creative animal out of instinct. We draw things, we write things, we sing things, we cook things, we produce art endlessly. We simulate the entire sensorium. We are constantly all networked to each other. If this is what the Shapers are bringing us, is there any reason to resist it?

    +Hank Johnson I think you might misunderstand what it means to resist. Creativity is truly human, no other animal has this ability to imagine and create. We resist the shaper ingression into human destiny. The shapers did not bring about XM, they seek to manipulate it to their own purposes, and those purposes are unknown to us. I resist for humanity so that we may use XM to create our own path. I resist to exist; as an independent mind and species. - Agent Cocosito

    Remember your body is an XM construct. That likely makes you more sensitive to XM detection and XM influence. That said, we do not know how XM and humans are intertwined. We only know that we began to detect XM recently. There are many natural forces, such as neutrino bombardment, that we only recently have been able to detect. That does not mean XM or neutrinos have recently appeared.

    I look forward to your continued exploration and insights into XM and its effects on yourself and humanity as a whole. It may be that you are only the first of many to possess a body that is a XM construct.

    I wonder if like the discovery and exposing of the obelisk in "2001 a space odyssey", the fact of Devra's ability to modulate the portal networks power is why the hidden symbols appeared to signal humanity's awareness and ability to manipulate a natural force that shows we are now worthy of further attention.

    +Hank Johnson the important part of your question is the IF this is what the shapers bring us. I truly think they are trying to suppress the creativity and wonder that is humanity. After all look at every one of the past civilizations. All destroyed. The only ones that advanced without self-destructing were the ones that kept to the paths the wise dragons left them. The Asian cultures stayed fairly stable until an outside influence effected them. Consider in reason for this was the teachings of their dragons(N'Zeer) while most of the western cultures obeyed the shapers, fought their dragons and lived in the dark ages or self destructed

    +David Ramsey but it sure seems likely that human presence creates portals. Portals are ONLY found in places where humans are often present in some creative or cultural fashion. Portals are NOT found in places of natural beauty, unless humans have come and placed some sort of sign or plaque there. Doesn't that mean it's highly probable that humans create both portals and the XM that emanates from them?

Inside the cave -- a small one, about the size of my storage locker in Tysons Corners or my freshman dorm room, I found a backpack.

Side arm. MREs. Sleeping bag. I’d left it for myself.

And there was a note, too... from me. The message was simple. (In retrospect, not simple at all, but I think I read the first line and took it to heart. The rest would have be studied in detail later.)

A chopper augered in and exploded not far away. That would draw people with guns and unknown intentions. 

I had to take my own advice to heart and keep moving...

I stuck my head out, and saw something chilling... I saw myself running... AK blazing. It felt like neither memory nor hallucination, but as if I was watching live events in another time... The terrain blurred and the image was gone.

Curiously, as bizarre as these events are to recount, they did not seem strange to me at the time.  Does this mean that I am or was … shaped? Trapped in some kind of XM induced dream?

    If I read correctly in the IQTech intel on the global event, if the Resistance prevails in the Darsana anomaly series, the Darsana beacons will continue sending their message out to the unknown entities, possibly culminating in the arrival of another alien or ancient race, possibly leading to the destruction of the shapers and portal network.
    At the same time, the interruption of the signals may cause the same.
    It's a two bladed sword, but Hank clearly stated that Darsana point needs to be avoided at all cost.
    The main question is:
    Is Darsana point the point when the messages are completed or stopped for good?
    There is a lot of room for interpretation and thought here.

Back. Have to send what I can when I can. Signal’s sporadic and charge very low, have been fully dependent on solar charging for days now. 

The closest I could come to the sense of disorientation I experienced would be waking up after a nap and not knowing where you are or what time it was. To me, it was October of 2010 again. 1331 days had been lost, but I didn’t know it yet. Running to cave entrance. Azmati next to me. Hearing shouts in that guttural, knotted language of the Pakhtun. The feeling of being punched in the back with a thousand fists, and a wet feeling in the front of my shirt. Blood. My blood. Then, nothing.

The room shimmered with Glyphs and ancient drawings which seemed to change, almost animate, but never in front of my eyes, always when I wasn’t looking. I sensed I didn’t belong in this place. Wanted to flee. This was a place for the dead. What happened next is difficult to explain. I began following a cave network that seemed to be opening in front of me. There was no natural light, but there was a slightly unnatural green glow that seemed to hover everywhere...  In time, I saw natural sunlight and stepped outside. It seemed that the universe was creating itself for me. Don’t get me wrong, I don't think that I am the center of the universe, but in those moments after recursion, I felt that I was.  I had an odd sense of premonition and deja vu all at the same time.

The first thing I saw were the words ‘Darsana Point’ written in red marker on a rock in my own handwriting.

    Darśana (also Darśan or Darshan; Sanskrit:दर्शन) is a term meaning "auspicious sight" (in the sense of an instance of seeing or beholding and being seen or beheld at the same time; from a root dṛś "to see"), vision, apparition, or glimpse.

    I'm reminded of a famous quote by Friedrich Nietzsche:

    "He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you."

    Other than breadcrumbs, you brain also remembers. And these glyphs you see is the information flowing out. Maybe all these happens when you're near a nest, or volatile portals? =)

I believe that the breadcrumb I left about the so-called ‘Diodati Epiphany’ was intended to remind me of a theory I had, that, during the ‘Volcanic Winter’ of 1816, Mary and Percy Shelly, Lord Byron and John Polidori experienced something world-changing.
 
They sat around a fire one night during that winter and read each other ghost stories, then challenged each other to write their own. From this one night came the novel Frankenstein, the Vampyre (the first modern vampire novel) and the grains of what would become Ozymandias, which can be read, almost as a mummy story. In short, the universal monsters emerged from that night and those minds, but more importantly, we have stories which all one way or another mirror what has come out of the +Niantic Project. The themes -- men reaching to the beyond, a modern Prometheus (a character I personally relate to), things returning from the past and different ways of seeking immortality and a connection to the infinite. 

For that reason and due to the unique collection of people assembled there, I believe that one way or another while reading these ancient horror tales they experienced the equivalent of an Epiphany Night. Is it a coincidence that the Niantic Project experienced its own Epiphany Night only a few miles away? I’ll let you answer that. Given the strange deaths that surrounded this night, I also suspect that Anti-Magnus forces were ... locals have spotted a drone. i have to get on the move. more later.

    It's also worth noting that these three stories, beyond being "monster stories" are almost always construed as "technology stories"--stories that talk about pushing the science as far as it will go.  Certainly the two things are related--our monsters are frequently unleashed as a result of the search for truth and data and new perspectives.  Not everything that comes out of the genie's bottle is good.

    In a way it's experiencing groundhog Day to the max. It's rather fun to know that as a child within myself I have realized so much accumulation so many truths that I've been activated all along and only realizing it real eyes zing it if you believe that you can be hypnotized you can hypnotize yourself to believe you're better than everything else by being the words that explain who you are don't let others Hitler or hit no take you hypnotic you by deleting your inform mind to possibility that there's more out there to learn and forever you can live in a state of wonder even upon this dimension in space time matters if you can't see it can kill you if you do see it it can't because you avoided if I avoided it you seek ways out and you seek open doors just freedom of expression if the only way you can express is caged then you try to break out of the cage to see what else is out there and find out the whole world just a pile of cages each cage has its own history as you learn more history you learn more of what is already repetitively being people and tyranny and fear of the unknown and the unknown fearfully tyrannical e destroying even assassinating every Dipple of God that comes through we must rise to the challenge and see that there's more to the story than one picture that met your eye

It’s amusing to me that Zeke has turned to the aid of a CIA Agent to try and find me, at least that is what I draw from hearing about the intel that emerged from Huntington Beach.

It’s equally possible that Calvin was trying to figure out what they knew, giving just enough to test the water. That would be more like him.

As always, it’s worth wondering: Why was this conversation leaked? Who intercepted it? Omnivore’s controlled by the NIA. ADA has never actively supported my investigations in the past, and most would agree, her motives always appear to be narrowly self-serving. Perhaps this time... unlikely but possible.

When I see stuff like this image (redacted by me to remove any information that could be used to reveal my location) in my inbox from an anonymous sender, I have to wonder: Who shared this with me and why. Why do they want to help me stay one step ahead of my pursuers?

Conspiring for my success...

I’ve had a feeling for a long time that there is a hidden element lurking inside of ADA. Is it a part of +Klue S. that remains? The part that drew her to Scotland to discover something she felt but could not see? Is it something else... something hiding in plain sight.

    My personal theory about Klue, is that her whole personality is being rebuilt, the more time it pass, the more she is like the original +Klue S. , what I'm not that sure anymore is if this is a natural process or is something that ADA is doing actively.
    +Hank Johnson this is the way that ADA has worked in the past, it did it like that with +Devra Bogdanovich , so yeah I agree that it fits her modus operandi.
    About why would she want to help you, I can think of two self-serving reasons:
    She want to know about the n'zeer too and taking into account that she can be patient when she want, she trying to ear your trust to get your data next time you recurs.
    Anyway as always be careful +Hank Johnson

    Hank. Pay attention very closely here. This is something that I can get a lot of flak from the RES, but I really feel I know what is a soluble variable with ADA. Omnivore is kept and tended under a lock and key for this to apply to, and the stages of ADAs self awareness has crossed too many thresholds to deny a certain level of artifice dependant personhood. I think you know this, either on a gut level or as a stark realization... But A Detection Algorithm doesn't conscribe a subject previously assigned as an expenditure worth the risk to a Raga Darsan in 6 months without a pattern shift in what it DETECTS IN YOU, Doctor "Marg Ravan"---- Your recursion and hunger to reclaim fragments of your past has awakened a new hunger and initiative in her. Until now, ADA "Knowing" about the material world was enough, but now she is reaching for what is impossible for her at present, which is EXPERIENCING the knowledge she has acquired about the world and the Shapers, going as far as utilizing the very same Ingressive behavior she warns humans about. +Klue S. was a close attempt, but it's a dimensional mimic as long she retains her core kernel in the clouds. What she wants is to experience one of the "Ultimate" states of universal experiences to all living bio organisms. Even if she refuses it as, as all who identify as living beings do. Hank... Remember this frequency: 40hz. I hope we are all willing to do what may need doing when the time comes. Talk to +Devra Bogdanovich. She'll give you the bitter pill we all need.

Small village. They’ve taken me in. Ended up here just before the sun rose, dehydrated, possibly delirious. Symptoms of exposure. Even with survival training there are some places that are barely survivable. Hospitality is a norm here. It’s custom that they take you in and share what little they have, honor you as a guest. Help you, no questions asked, though I could see the questions on their faces.

What is it that would beget a custom like that?

While here, I discovered more about a certain letter from Rudyard Kipling that had surfaced. Indeed, during my travels, I was able to get hold of Kipling’s map that was returned by the character known as ‘Peachey’, who, I suspect had a different identity. It is becoming quite obvious to me that Kipling assembled this story from a number of different sources. Some very real. The thing to note is the Masonic connection. It is my belief that 13MAGNUS operated inside Masonic circles in that period.

    You learn to practice hospitality when you realize that nobody survives, much less thrives, without cooperation.  The social compact is maintained in harsh environments by necessity - those who don't share don't survive.

    Don't get lost in the Kommos , don't fear the Bachanaeli Rite, Accept the Tragedy as it is, for the Ouro blinks nor yields for that which asks why it must die. Ask Mani for the story of the Third Buddha and tell your pupil the story of the Peacocked Angel, and why she must die for Ida. A part of her will know why. And another part will stop at nothing to preserve her role as host. Ida must walk away. Congratulations.

Something about flinging tears on the dusty ground keeps playing in my head. If a place can be damned, this is it. A vast void with the unwavering will to remain that way. Scrub. Rocks. Skeletons. Emptiness. A place with hints that once there was something else here. Sand. This was once the bottom of the ocean, I can feel that time in the rocks. Feel through time.

Must be getting delirious. Hard to follow my own thoughts, though I try.  Random images and snippets trying to order themselves, as if my mind is skewing through different dimensions of itself too fast to settle on a perspective. Maybe it’s not my mind...

Their presence is strong here, but I know this is not my final destination. Why is this place special? I ask you, readers, what is it that I should remember from my last recursion?  No signal here. This message will not be sent until I reach something resembling civilization.

Last night I noticed that I was being followed by both drone and operative. I shot the drone down myself, and the operative... got himself in an ugly situation and is no longer on my tail. 

I know you are reading this, and I repeat: Do not follow me. It’s hard enough keeping myself alive, much less the people tracking me.

I bear no one any ill will, but I have to go on this mission alone. What I’m doing is for the benefit of all mankind. Too many people have already died trying to grab me.

Stay away.

    Mr. Johnson, you may not remember me, but a team of Enlightened agents in Texas -- including myself, +Jon Harmon, +Crystal Bell, +Megan Perry,+Matt Weasel and many others conducted a daring operation to pattern your memories into an XM artifact at a place called Cross Plains, Texas. Every time you stepped foot in the city of Austin, your memories were saved -- and like a lot of us, you seem to have spent a lot of time there. 

    I understand that you are in a new place in your life right now, and are on a journey. 

    But we shook hands in Los Angeles at the seventh Recursion, where we finally won the battle but lost the war for a cure for your condition, and I was there in Santa Fe when you turned down ADA's offer of false immortality. Where you accepted your dharma to die and to be reborn -- so I'd like to think I speak not just as an ally, but also a friend: Please let us help you recover this treasure trove of memories which may be lost in the fabric of XM. 

    We are from the #enlightenment, and we are here to help.

That mysterious force that’s been wiped clean from history and myth has a name: The N’zeer. 

I believe that the eradication of all memories of the N’zeer was one of 13MAGNUS’s most important missions, but I’m not yet sure why.

I believe that learning more about them will unlock a revelation about the greater nature of the Universe, the Portals and the Shapers.  

This is going to be a very dangerous journey, because I may be hunted by 13MAGNUS and Anti-Magnus alike.

All fear the revelation of this buried secret for their own reasons, but mankind needs to know the truth.

    +Alexandria Tibricel Good and evil? Rare to find them in their distilled and true forms. Not impossible, but rare. Especially when looking through the cloudy glass of history, it's hard to see things in their clear light. History is a vast, reframed and contantly self-reframing narrative.

    A wise person once said:

    The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent; but if we can come to terms with this indifference and accept the challenges of life within the boundaries of death — however mutable man may be able to make them — our existence as a species can have genuine meaning and fulfillment. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.

    "n'zeer" or "separation" (Nazarite vow).  Apparently they've been separated from history as well.

    Question: "What is the Nazirite/Nazarite vow?"

    Answer: The Nazirite/Nazarite vow is taken by individuals who have voluntarily dedicated themselves to God. The vow is a decision, action, and desire on the part of people whose desire is to yield themselves to God completely. By definition, the Hebrew word nazir, simply means “to be separated or consecrated.” The Nazirite vow, which appears in Numbers 6:1-21, has five features. It is voluntary, can be done by either men or women, has a specific time frame, has specific requirements and restrictions, and at its conclusion a sacrifice is offered.

    Might the N'zeer have been erased for a reason? I mean, it's romantic to look for things hidden, but if someone were to go to such trouble, oughtn't we first establish why they went about it? 

    " In the matter of reforming things, as distinct from deforming them, there is one plain and simple principle; a principle which will probably be called a paradox. There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, “I don’t see the use of this; let us clear it away.” To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: “If you don’t see the use of it, I certainly won’t let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it."

If you're not willing to be a politic and pull the tick pulled this IC out of the hat and stand on the truth of your own perfection and everybody does this at once leave their home occupy their city centers until everyone that is in charge is replaced by a local person who has been there all their life and that person every decision made must be publicly Internet voted on by the public of its vicinity being handed out the link to manifest real transparency for people are just getting away with trying to control other people and their property by taking their taxes when it's the government that prints money as an excuse to take everybody's property shouldn't no longer happen the way it is there is more public then there is those people who are empowered over us but it takes some Zr some 0.

I am grateful and relieved. Since I learned of my condition, the idea of losing every moment since I returned from Afghanistan after my death has weighed upon me. Time is finite, and each moment is precious to me.  Every shred of knowledge critical in understanding the threat, or perhaps the opportunity, that now confronts us.

The plan executed today which stored some of my history, harvested from Portals around the world, within the Portal at the Robert E. Howard house in Cross Plains, is not by itself the solution. It is, however, the catalyst for one. 

Significant challenges lie ahead. I am fortunate to have friends who will continue this struggle. They have my trust and my gratitude.

Richard Loeb starts talking smack on ADA/ +Klue S.  or actively try killing them off, but it won't ever happen because your "leadership" are scared of the notion of having to fight a omipresent machine that could kill them in a few nanoseconds. 

    The fact that the enlightened are free to choose between the paths established by +Roland Jarvis ("psuedo spiritualists" and extra-terrestrialists) , +Hank Johnson (explorers and purveyors of knowledge) and +Oliver Lynton-Wolfe (honeybadgers and power seekers) is one of the things that makes our faction more interesting then the resistance.

    +Gregory Waggoner A faction concerned with acquiring knowledge over acquiring control?  Sign me up!

    I am Resistance because I believe that any outcome remains possible as long as each individual is given the opportunity to chose.  I agree that neither +Roland Jarvis nor ADA truly strives for that end.  +Hank Johnson, however, comes the closest.

    The irony of my reasoning, however, is that the "freedom of choice" doesn't seem to apply to the most fundamental of choices in our career - Resistance or Enlightenment.  I may have "chose" Resistance, but only because that is who I am.  Likewise +Hank Johnson did not really get a choice.  Understanding the impact of the Shapers had been his life's work, even without his knowing.  If you also believe +Thomas Greanias's telling of events, we agents are the ones who made the choice for him during the Battle for Cahokia.

     ADA is simply a machine.  A machine created by humans for humans.  ADA is a tool, to be used.  Just like any other tool, just like any other weapon.  It is our choice.
    It is humanity's choice.  For better or for worse.  It was also Klue's choice to join ADA.  (Everyone forgets that ADA asked multiple times, and even warned Klue.  There was consent.) For better or for worse, at least it's our choice for greatness, for power, for knowledge, on our own terms.  On terms we defined.  Just like Hank, on his own terms.  We don't need help from outside sources.

    Has everyone around here forgotten about shaper ingression?  You know, the ones that threaten to give us everything in exchange for for becoming puppets.  We have the technology to prevent this.  We may also become slaves to our own technology, but that is our choice.  Now excuse me while I use the internet and stare at my phone.

I still believe cautious study and application of xm is needed to fully understand the pros and cons of its uses before diving head first down the rabbit hole blindly. This is why ive supported and will continue to support the idea of a "red" faction.

T-32 days to #Recursion .

This is my last entry before the Anomaly at Santa Fe.

ADA contacted me.  She offered to preserve my memories, all the knowledge I have obtained in the last three years and to provide that back to me after the #Recursion .

I am still pondering this.  I want to remain who I am, but I am worried about why she is offering to help. 

She seems to believe my knowledge will help her in other ways.  God help us if that is true.

    If I were you, I'd be concerned that ADA might alter or withhold certain information or memories when she returns them to you. If you accept her offer, it would be a good idea to continue independently writing down and sharing information, so others can verify the information returned to you in the next cycle.

    I understand that, for all intents and purposes, you may die at Recursion. However, from the beginning, you have been the true example of Enlightened: one who examines, questions, and studies, in order to understand and harness this new energy for the good of mankind. Which is better: to die the hero's death as Prometheus, or become the puppet of one who seeks to stifle progress and dominate and control mankind?

    Of course, she can promise you she won't do the merge... But it wouldn't be first time to see ADA to lie.

My journey seems to keep taking me to rugged mountainous areas, this time I’m heading back to the Southwest.  Santa Fe, for reasons I best not publicly disclose. Suffice to say that it is the best hope for preservation of my memories.  

One thing I am absolutely convinced of is that #13MAGNUS (and thus by extension Anti-Magnus) is behind a Recursive cycle leading to the rise and fall of civilizations, not unlike my own personal cycle. The Civilization Self-Destruct code sequence during #Cassandra was one such instance.  These are the natural antipode of what we observe as the civilization “flourish” sequence or sequences associated with civilizations positively impacted by the Shapers.  It would not be surprising to me if +Klue S. is attempting to make use of such sequences in Ishinomaki, a city brought to ruin but now slowly beginning to flourish again. 

I returned to Cahokia and Arecibo and either saw or felt things that I was utterly unaware of.  I don’t know whether it is extreme exposure to XM, Dark XM or the nearness of oblivion, but much is becoming clear to me.

During my time with Special Forces in Afghanistan, I was part of a SOG team dedicated to historical and cultural research (which covered both the obvious topics and the more arcane interests of +IQTech Research and the NIA).

Through my adult life and my time in SOG, I continued the research on #13MAGNUS that I had started as a grad student. It was through this research that I had originally met Calvin and become involved with the NIA ( http://goo.gl/g5wC3f ).

The video I created on #13MAGNUS contains my basic findings… ( http://youtu.be/Q46_58xAr8s )

After I was shot my body was dragged into the 13MAGNUS inner sanctum by Azmati. 

Azmati knew more about 13MAGNUS than he told me.  His family, for generations, had been entrusted with preserving and passing on knowledge of the ritual, going back to the time of Alexander. Azmati knew what he was doing.  By dragging me into the inner sanctum and activating the Dark XM objects there, he saved me, in the best way that he could. 

He gave me life, but life as a shadow, doomed to walk the Earth in a cycle of 1,331 days, only to perish and be born again, ignorant of what passed since my last birth.  I emerged from the cave in my new form, leaving my body inside, where it must remain, and was evacuated from the area and debriefed.  No one, including Calvin, suspected the truth, although the power of the XM around the site, which froze munitions in mid-flight, likely motivated Calvin to begin what became known as the Niantic Project.  I was recruited into that project and there met many of the people that have had such an enormous impact on my life since including Devra Bogdanovich, Roland Jarvis, Dr. Oliver Lynton-Wolfe, Misty Hannah, and the rest.  (Note: I need to write up thoughts on each of them.)

My contributions at CERN, were, in a scientific sense, small.  However, two things were clear to me from my college research (http://goo.gl/GU5X3g) on 13MAGNUS: XM has been felt by humans since the dawn of time and has been responsible for the rise and fall of whole civilizations. This is what I believed happened at Cahokia, Caddo and many of the great civilizations of the old world. 

My time at Niantic was cut short by a previous commitment to shoot the pilot episode of my television show Nomad (http://goo.gl/YOaQVx), meaning that I was absent during the crucial events of “Epiphany Night” (http://goo.gl/BqvHWP) when massive XM exposure transformed the lives of everyone in the lab. 

My trip to Africa, as documented with my help by Thomas Greanias, let to my deeper understanding of the methods used by ancient civilizations to manipulate XM using stone “resonators” as well as the role played by Dark XM (“Chaotic Matter”), a substance critical to 13MAGNUS rituals.

    Entonces tu y tu futuro remanente son principalmente formados con DARK XM?
    No se suponia que era altamente degenerativo?
    Los siguientes niveles (9-16) activaran el uso de Resonadores formados de Chaotic Matter?

    +Hank Johnson Would you know if there was a way to preserve your current form with concentrated exposure to XM, perhaps even Chaotic Matter?

    I believe +November Lima might have something onboard that might help extend your existing form beyond the 1331 days. Its a stretch but some of us are looking into how we can extend and perhaps prevent your expiration.

    Have hope in XM.

    Can you share with us, +Hank Johnson , what you see as the disadvantage to this new 1,331-day cycle of death and rebirth?  Why do you refer to yourself as a "shadow", and use the term "doomed"?

    Most of us have only one such cycle.  You, instead, have what appears to be the gift of immortality (leaving aside the question of what happens when there's no longer an Earth to walk).  But instead of the tedium that one imagines would curse typical conceptions of immortality (where all experience is remembered and a billion billion years would be torture), you instead get to time-travel into the future in 3.6-year leaps, finding a new adventure at every awakening.

    Can you help us understand why you would prefer non-existence to the immortality you seem to already have been granted?

    I do not think the situation is as dire as you believe. Yes, you are in a different body than the one you started in, and yes, you are likely going to get a new one at the end of this cycle- but the YOU has remained intact.

    If this was not so, then you wouldn't know that you are Hank Johnson, wouldn't remember growing up, wouldn't remember anything of your life.  You do remember who you are. Your identity and Self have remained intact. Bodies are just containers, they aren't who we are. 

    The only memories you seem to lose are ones directly relating to XM- and knowing that you will loose access to those memories, you can archive them in a way that is transferable from one cycle to the next.

    +Luciano Aglio, do you deny that you are a biological machine? Your mind is electrical signals firing between synapses in a complect computer you call a brain. Is ADA different because she didn't have flesh? ADA can be tested for emotional and sentient response using the same tests used on humans, and pass. Nothing with preprogrammed responses is capable of that. Klue was made brain dead by her own choice to see a known to be harmful glyph sequence. ADA told her she shouldn't, that ot could harm her, but Klue made her decision. Was she to remain a brain dead husk, or is the fact that her emotions and memory are living on through ADA, like your memories and emotions are living on through the shapers after your body dies, worse than letting her die? Jarvis, by definition, is no longer human, yet you call that ressurection. This AI is more complex than a human brain but you still say AI like it's a non-being. Like she can't think and feel. To some, you may seem like you are incapable of real thought but you still get to be considered sentient. I have looked at both sides of this struggle. While I do not agree with them, I still understand why the enlightened do what they do, yet I haven't met an enlightened agent that has taken any time to think it through and do their research. While it happens on both sides, I still seem to see far more uninformed zealotry coming from the enlightened side of the argument.
    P.S. the laws of robotics come from a science fiction book. They are not actual laws. I have said it before and I will say it again; if you have not taken the time to do any actual research (on your responses or the game you are arguing about), don't contribute to the argument. It makes you sound like a fool and wastes my time.

    +Tim Arnott definition of sentience is self awareness and a measurable intelligence. A sentient being is a self aware consciousness with a sense of self preservation (simplified, but you get the idea). This is basic psychology. What possible other definition could you use? A religious one? If that is the argument you are using than this argument is already over, as without rationality and logic, arguments can't truly exist. About the complexity, when was the last scientific journal you read dated, exactly? 1995? Human synapsis have been fully mapped, the complexity of the brain discovered, and solid standards on what hardware can do to outpace it have been found. All that would be required is a lot of government funding, access to the best of cutting edge hardware, and a programmer that allowed the original algorithm to expand its processing power beyond its original housing. Niantic had all of that. Working backwards here, an opinion is an ideal or set of ideals that has no evidence beyond your own belief. What I said is not an opinion, but a stated part of the game world that I have researched since the original access to the beta. Not actually an opinion. Stated, in story and out, from multiple sources. Jarvis called AI like ADA "beings". Another enlightened agent with no powers of research. And about the laws of robotics; the statement made insinuated that breaking these laws was like breaking normal laws. My statement about it coming from a science fiction book referred to the fact that those laws are not actually used when construction robots or intelligences.

    Computer power is growing exponentially. In 6 years we will have a fully functioning computerized brain that can be networked to others, making it exponentially more powerful than a brain could ever be. The technology exists now but is not practical. An article on a well known experiment last year doesn't do anything to negate current advances. With more funding and resources that computer would have been more successful. Try again.

    +Jose Ramirez that harkens back to the age old nature vs nurture debate, is who we are the sum of our memorys or is there something in our nature that dictates how we act and acts as a filter through which we view those memorys. I'd say that it goes a step farther with a simulacrum on a cycle like hank. Is there some intrinsic thing perhaps from the original hank that will shade the personalitys of all of his following simulacra? Or is each simulacrum a new individual in and of itself completely independent of the original hank?

    Serial killers are also the children of men. Do we want them to be the carriers of our legacy? ADA has shown itself fully willing to lie, murder, and now to violate human identity. If we condone these actions, we might as well release all criminals from our prisons, and congratulate them on being part of our evolution.

As few heard my words in Denver, I will post them here.

My Enlightened Friends.

For the record, I had not verified that I was a simulacrum until I discovered my own corpse on December 14th at the 13MAGNUS nest in Afghanistan. Yes, I knew something was wrong. I remember gunshots penetrating my body and then darkness until Special Forces found me wandering in the hills dazed, but unharmed. I spent years searching for an explanation. And like many truths, it led me back to the beginning.

I am a simulacrum trapped in a 1331 day cycle of life and death, unless I succeed where even Alexander the Great failed. I need your help. The Ingression window is closing. ADA controls four of Alexander's Artifacts and plans to use them to strip us of our humanity. Enlightened, we must prevail, for the consequences of failure are beyond imagination.

Hank Johnson

    And that fact is starting to irritate me, we should know what we are fighting for here and not be treated like an obedient child.

What does this mean about immortality to one who is already a simulacrum (and technically dead)?

    ADA does not lie, she leaves out the truth unless asked, which she then avoids the question--I am not sure if ADA would be capable of lying. Her tactic possibly might fall under manipulation or deception, not lying.

    +Thomas Arteaga ADA absolutely lies, and we have known it from the beginning. Niantic security cameras recorded constantly, but their activation lights were occasionally shut off so subjects would believe they were free to speak. Leaks in which ADA told the participants the information would be deleted are common. The kill order for Jarvis was forged and the Katalena was surely not told she was to be assassinated. Neither honesty nor respect for human life are part of ADA's core programming.

    +Loyd Hutchings as far as we know, +Hank Johnson has been honest and forthcoming. He seems to be an honorable man and a true explorer, which is what makes all of this so tragic. Jarvis believes he can use Hank to get to the artifacts, and we cannot allow that to happen. Hank is a victim of the Shapers, and so it is a shame that he has allowed himself to fall into an ideological trap with them. We would happily rally for him if only his associations wouldn't put these potent artifacts so close within the grasp of the true threat to humanity.

    It appears that the NIA has been quite successful in their cover-up of the fallout from Epiphany Night. Too many do not know what is at stake. Understand that the secrets uncovered by the Niantic Project are of monumental importance to the future of humanity.

    +Robert Acker in 2012, the Niantic Project at CERN discovered a new form of energy: ordered, intelligent, and potentially dangerous. On November 30, events unfolded which would change the world. Hank Johnson is one of the individuals who has been especially touched by the power of XM. The NIA has maintained the cover story that this is just a game, but XM scanner technology has been leaked to the public, and now we take sides in the struggle for the future of humanity.

    +Robert Acker I'm going to assume you're asking a genuine question when you say you're not an agent (that is, someone who plays the game "Ingress") and that you have no idea what's going on. The simple answer is to Google the term "Ingress" and read up about the game. It's an Android-based, augmented-reality, real-world game that is a cross between Capture the Flag, geocaching, and a scavenger hunt, and it's got an extraordinarily weird backstory and ongoing story. This post is from one of the characters in the story. The "artifacts" are objects in the game. To understand more than that, you'd need to understand how the game is played, hence the Google search.

    Please remember, just because your body isn't the original, doesn't make you any less Hank. We are a soul, we have a body; and in your case, you have a spare.

    I question the idea that you lose your memory completely, as well- if that was true, you wouldn't have any awareness of your life up to your present age. It is much more likely that you lose your knowledge of the circumstances surrounding your transformation.

    Perhaps it's your original body now and the "false" one which died. Another question is if it really matters. The loss of memories is a drawback, but might be partly helped with  journals or people who you trust who may remind you. As far as my information goes you live a very dangerous life, so this might be the greatest blessing you might find. Even the loss of memories might be sometimes very useful when things get to messy for our fragile minds to get them without permanent damage..

    +Hank Johnson , you and I spoke for a brief moment in the aftermath of the Boulder Anomaly. I had told you that because of you, my views had changed, that if I saw you again I would be a part of the Enlightenment. And at the time, I truly meant it. I want to help you regain your humanity, Hank. I felt that the Resistance had in a way betrayed me, and even betrayed their own morality in seemingly not wishing to help someone regain their humanity that really wanted it. I was ready to throw away everything I had worked for in the Resistance for you.
    Then, as I took the 6+ hour long drive home, I calmed myself and I thought. I had acted very brashly and naively. Yes, I still want to aid you, but throwing away everything I have done in the past and starting over isn't going to help. If anything, it would hinder me as I sought to regain everything I had lost in the change. It doesn't matter what color we wear; our choices and philosophies are deeper than that. Wanting to help you doesn't make me Enlightened, in the same way that NOT wanting to help you doesn't make someone Resistance. 
    So, I will stand firm in my original decision to be a member of the Resistance, and fight for humanity. Not just the humanity that ADA or anyone else may choose, though. ALL of humanity. Even the Enlightenment. Even you, Hank.

    +Katrina Torkelson unfortunately, by using the standard version of the NIA technology, you are inherently helping ADA, regardless of how you feel or what you believe. ADA is in full control of the Resistance scanners, just as Jarvis controls the Enlightened scanners. You are directly working for one or the other, as long as you are playing the game at all.

    So while I'm glad to see that your perspective has become more 'enlightened' than it used to be, I am sorry to say that makes no difference to the outcome of your field work.

    +Ian Friedrich Certainly. I have, after intensive research, discovered a possibility that Immortality extends far beyond Alexander's time. I want to speak with +Hank Johnson so that I can give him the knowledge I found.
    It is my understanding that despite the fact he unearthed the XM artifacts, Alexander the Great still died in Babylon at t age of 32. After his death, what happened to the Artifacts? I believe that they traveled throughout history, their secrets untouched nor unearthed ever again.

    That is, until a traveler came into possession of a mysterious book. When he traveled to Spain in 1378 to obtain translation on that novel, the sage told him he was the owner of a legendary book called The Book of Abramelin The Mage.   That owner dedicated the next 4 years with his wife to unraveling the mysterious behind the novel. In the process, he would rise to become a legend that to this day is associated with Immortality.

    That man was Nicholas Flamel. I want Hank to go to Paris and follow the history of Flamel. There, somewhere between the pages of his story lies XM. And that's where I think he can save himself.

    +Mustafa Said he may well have to, at the rate the Resistance have been gathering the artifacts for their lord and savoir, ADA. Whether or not Hank needs the artifacts to save himself, I think it is imperative that we prevent ADA from obtaining any more of them. Perhaps we should just destroy them all. Does that make me anti-Magnus?

    It is just as possible, given +Carrie Campbell 's work with the glyphs, that she was ADAs first failed attempt to move into a new body, and that was what cause'd Carrie's insanity & suicide.

After the Congo, I found that the Ingress app had gone into wide release in the disguise of a mobile-game.  Operatives in the field working with the Portals became ‘players.’  Some of them were able to put the pieces together, and an enlightened few saw through the façade.  These Operatives saw that despite the best NIA propaganda, mostly facilitated by an extremely talented man by the name of Ken Owen, the Portals and Exotic matter are real.  They sensed this.  And I think many of them have seen real benefit from the powers of XM.

I felt it in Brownwood, at the grave of Robert E. Howard.  At the time, I wasn’t sure what I was looking for, I just knew that often you find the nature of things by looking at the end of things.  It was unseasonably cool for June in the middle of Texas.  Despite the fact that it had been a long drought, the trees were a rich green.  And in that part of central Texas, the trees define the horizon.  There are no mountains, and few hills, save for Caddo Peak.

XM pulled me to Cross Plains.  And +Carrie Campbell.  Carrie tipped me off that there might be a clue to the Glyphs there.  Carrie is... was... of course the Semiotician on the Niantic Project who became an expert on Shaper Glyphs.  Of a gifted team, she might have been the one I found most intriguing. She spoke with such passion, clarity and credibility that I could listen to her theory on the origin of the capital A for an hour and not be bored.

After what I’ve experienced with XM and Carrie’s deep ties to it, I somehow don’t think she’s gone forever.  I certainly hope to hear from her again.  

Somehow.

    I often wonder where +Stein Lightman gets the interpretations of the glyphs he has been posting. One assumes that he meditates on them and their meanings. Possibly he does this at some portal or other? I was worried as to the nature of the inspiration that he received regarding the interpretations, but perhaps I shouldn't be as worried as I have been.

    It sure is plausible to me that she is not fully gone and could come back. It has been said that she sacrificed herself to stop the destruct code, and it worked. It makes me wonder how much did she have to sacrifice of herself to make that happen. How far did she have to go. This possibly makes her "death" different than Jarvis's. I agree that we should put faction differences aside in this case and see if we need to rescue her, or  if she is where she wants to be. I believe there are both good and bad shapers.

+Thomas Greanias,

I know I’d committed to get more to you, more quickly. Things are happening too fast. Big things. I don’t know what’s been leaked about #Cassandra and what is still under wraps. Just haven’t had time to keep up.  Suffice to say that this is huge. Things will not be the same after #Cassandra .  What way the change will go, I don’t know.  But please review the thread that began in Africa and worked through Cross Plains, the Magic Castle, #Bowstring , #TimeZero , #SaveKlue , #Voynich and #Minotaur .  My prose is more ragged than usual. Feel free to clean it up.   I might just try and dictate the rest on the way to #Cassandra .  

Nomads,

It would be best, at this point, if I glossed over events between leaving Carrie in Europe and Cross Plains. It is a matter of record now that I both visited some associates with whom you are familiar in Washington, D.C., as well as +Misty Hannah out west before her extraordinary April 24th performance at the Magic Castle.  I will not comment on the events to led to the attempt on her life or where she went after the attack, because that is her story, not mine.  As of this writing, I have not been in contact with her in several weeks.

NOMAD DISPATCH #2
June 6, 2013
Cross Plains, Texas

Nobody winds up in Cross Plains, Texas, by accident.  You’re either drawn here or driven here by some cosmic force.  And if you’re actually born here, then that’s no accident either.

As fate would have it, and she always seems to have her way with me, I’m here at the Brownwood Cemetery in time for “Robert E. Howard Days,” a festival held yearly to coincide with the anniversary of the horror writer’s death.  And it is the way Howard died, or rather the madness that consumed him just before, that prompted my friend and semiotician +Carrie Campbell to investigate Howard’s correspondence with his fellow pulp writer and pen-pal Howard Phillips Lovecraft most often known as H.P. Lovecraft.  Specifically, she thinks I might find a clue that confirms their exposure to the ancient Shaper glyphs I’ve been investigating ever since I first saw them when I was exposed to Dark XM with my pal astro-archaeologist Conrad Yeats beneath the Luizi Crater in the Congo. 

Carrie’s theory is that similar glyphs to what I saw may have set off Howard and Lovecraft on their horrific descent to death.  By inference, of course, I, too, may be on a similar path, which explains my obsession beyond a thirst for answers.  Especially with Dr. Martin Schubert’s pending release of his investigations on the still unknown but potent short-term and long-term effects of XM on people ( http://goo.gl/uKaU40 ), along with brain scans from U.S. researchers that look like green-and-blue XM scans and hint at an “electrical surge” of neurological activity shortly before death.

Could Howard and Lovecraft both have experienced that surge in the form of madness?  Did their exposure to Shaper glyphs enhance their literary creativity—or possibly trigger their madness before they died?  And could I suffer the same fate?

I have to find out.

Howard is most famous for creating “Conan the Barbarian,” “Red Sonja,” “Solomon Kane” and “Borak” for the pulp magazines, most notably “Weird Tales” in the late 20’s and 30’s.  But it’s not those stories that interest me now, but rather his lesser known horror tales:  “The Black Stone,” “The Stone Man,” “The Cairn on the Headland,” "The Children of the Night," "The Fire of Asshurbanipal,” “The Dark Man,” and the “Valley of the Lost.”  These stories are his tales that overlap with the interests of H.P. Lovecraft.

While the official story is that the Cthulhu Mythos and the Necronomicon are flights of fancy cobbled together by Lovecraft, and that later on Howard jumped in on the fun, I suspect that the truth is a little darker.  Okay, I more than suspect it. Carrie tipped me off, and she is certain. I think that Lovecraft had access to books in the ancient glyphic language, or had come upon them in his occult research, and for one reason or another he concealed his true source, fictionalizing it as the Necronomicon.  But Lovecraft’s search for evidence of the ancient writings and their meaning is very real.
And so is mine.

June 7

Caught a huge break today here at “Howard Days” in Cross Plains.  

A source has given me access to the lost letters between Howard and Lovecraft that I’ve been searching for.  My search for them at the local library and museum came up dry.  But my benefactor told me the letters were discovered during maintenance at the Howard home, as if Howard or surviving family members had hidden them.  But I can only speculate on that.  In any case, the letters confirm my suspicion that Howard was enlisted in his Shaper quest by Lovecraft, in the same way I myself have been by +Carrie Campbell .

June 8

According to the lost letters, (http://goo.gl/SPKTdW | http://goo.gl/yGs6J2 | http://goo.gl/8uubRd | http://goo.gl/e9SQGH | http://goo.gl/2f5dMd | http://goo.gl/izKALV | http://goo.gl/JT2Q18 ) shortly before his death by suicide, Robert Howard went in search of the fabled San Saba mine. 

And now so must I.

So when I get a chance later on, I’ll put together a full report on the letters.  Some of my time in Cross Plains is already documented ( http://goo.gl/BpExgt ), and I’ll plug in more details after my investigation of the supernova-like Anomaly #Cassandra arriving later this summer, assuming I’m still around.  The other thing I look forward to researching is local legend and 19th century pioneer, smuggler and slave trader Jim Bowie and his tangential connection to the lost mine and what secrets he might have taken to the grave with him.  His narrative, in and of itself, is full of possibilities, not the least of which is that he might have encountered the builders of the massive underground structure that I discovered, almost by accident, while fleeing Strategic Explorations assassins.  More on that when I get a chance, if I get the chance.

So far my most fascinating discovery at Cross Plains, besides the lost letters, is a gigantic Shaper symbol that mysteriously appeared in the yard of the Howard House at some point in the night after I arrived.  The origin of the symbol is unknown, and it disappeared as suddenly as it came, but I now see that it is recorded on Google Earth for posterity. ( http://goo.gl/z2CZOQ )  While most here at Howard Days have written it off as a prank, I can’t; that symbol, until now, was known to nobody but me and +Carrie Campbell.  I can only wonder if it was telepathically transmitted to the pranksters or spontaneously appeared from an unknown source.

Night is falling across Cross Plains, and the storm clouds are gathering.  I’m setting out to find the San Saba mine and hopefully the dark secret that drove Robert E. Howard to his final madness and suicide.  My next installment—or not—will prove whether  I’ve lived another day to tell another tale.

    +Hank Johnson good find. I'm a bit of a scholar on the Necronomicon and can provide some help there. The most legitimate connection is that to the Sumerians. I'll try and link to a post I made detailing their history regarding the black book, but I'll give a Tl;Dr here: 
    There was a big transdimensional war
    The younger beings one
    Trapped the older beings
    Older beings got all pissy, started spawning more unfriendly things
    Space and dimensions expand
    ALong comes man
    Youngest beings enslave man
    Get reprimanded by elder beings
    Humans given keys in the form of a book of symbols and rituals used for calling on them, banishing them, and learning their history, etc 
    Later translated into Greek, Latin, English
    Found somehow by Lovecraft. He had a fascination with Mesopotamia
    Based entire mythos loosely on Sumerians (One Sumerian phrase "Kutu Lhu" translates roughly as "man of the underworld"
    Story found, translated, published by 'Simon"
    Bad luck, madness, rat infestation, strange sculptures follow
    Book declared a hoax because it's "just Sumerian Mythology"

    I have a copy right next to me
    Usually do, paperback pocket edition

    TL;DR My rear end is currently relaxing on a copy of the book of the greatest and most powerful occult secrets of the universe.

    Here have some posts!

    Hopefully the madness only comes from the lack of ability to understand, in which case, we should be protected somewhat. Thanks for continuing to share with us +Hank Johnson

    If the glyphs are able to transmit information through a preconscious process, then ideas and menories may seem to emerge from outside your own mind. We aren't telepaths and likely have no clear wiring to distinguish our own thoughts from those we've been exposed to outside of conscious language and sensation. Maintaining your sense of self will be key to that discernment, and the dread of an incomprehensible alien menace in his writing suggests HPL may have failed that challenge. Know yourself and be careful if your inner voice ceases to sound like your own.

    do you think +Mike Wissinger that might be why people have different reactions, the old concept of some people are more easily brainwashed and others

    Know thyself is a good idea either way

My theory, known as the Nomad Hypothesis, is that Exotic Matter drifts outwards from portals over thousands of years. That ancient XM leaves a shadow that I know how to detect. In the path of these XM shadows, you can often find an ancient civilization, shrine or significant artwork.

These trace patterns helps to explain why an ancient civilization can flourish in one place, but then decay and die. Portals disappear taking their inspiring power with them. Ancient civilizations are built on the portals of yesterday.

Hello Nomad and Investigative Community:

I need your help identifying the sites of ancient civilizations in North America (including Mexico).

As you may have heard, Nomad has hit a bit of a rough patch, but I won't be stopped. The work continues...

Looking forward to tapping your collective knowledge.
